Hot Topics in Intelligence Research: Jacob Yates (UC Berkeley)

Mehr Informationen in Kürze.

Jacob Yates (he/him) is an Assistant Professor of Optometry & Vision Science at UC Berkeley and leads the Active Vision and Neural Computation Lab. His research explores how populations of neurons in the cortex and early visual pathways encode the visual world, with a particular focus on how eye movements generate and utilize information for perception. By combining statistical and machine learning approaches, his lab builds computational models to better understand neural activity and human perception, ultimately aiming to bridge the gap between neural coding and real-world visual behavior.
