Research Interests:
Human Vision:
- algorithmic analysis of human eye movements for the investigation of visual attention
- gaze trajectories as indicators of mental representations
- psychophysical experiments employing gaze-contingent displays
- visual perception and eye movements in virtual 3-D scenes
- using artificial neural networks to model components of visual information processing such as visual attention, visual working memory, and eye movements

Computer Vision:
- simulating human vision using an active-vision camera head
- biologically motivated approaches to object recognition
- vision systems with flexible organization and deployment of processing resources (visual attention)
- evaluation of biological approaches to computer vision with psychophysical data
- parallel algorithms for image processing

Human-Computer Interaction:
- development and evaluation of gaze-controlled user interfaces
- robot learning by observation and imitation of human movement
