Weonly need to open our eyes to instantly know where we are, recognize the people and objects around us, and even read the text on this page. But vision is fragile and losing these abilities can drastically impair quality of life. Vision is also an engineering challenge and understanding how the human brain transforms photons into percepts could lead to important medical and engineering breakthroughs.

Research in the Murty Lab aims to uncover the neural codes and algorithms that enable us to see. The central theme of our work is to integrate biological vision with artificial models of vision. Our work combines the benefits of closed-loop experimental testing (using 3T/7T human functional-MRI) with cutting-edge computational methods (like deep neural networks, generative algorithms, and AI interpretability) toward a new computationally precise understanding of human vision. Our research also guides the development of neurally mechanistic biologically constrained models aimed to uncover a better understanding of the neurobiological changes that underlie perceptual abnormalities such as agnosias.

Because vision is so critical to other aspects of human behavior, this quantitative understanding fundamentally influences the way we think about how the brain processes sensory information in general and how visual information is used for post-perceptual processes like visual memory and decision- making.
