EXC 2002/1: Control Models of Perceptual Stability in Active Observers (TP 23)
This project aims at the implementation of perceptual stability, a fundamental aspect of sensorimotor intelligence. The postdoctoral researcher will work in close collaboration with colleagues and PIs from perceptual psychology and systems and control theory. We will investigate the dynamic interplay of visual, non-visual sensory, and motor information in active vision. To achieve an understanding of perceptual stability on an algorithmic level, we will devise and implement closed-loop control sensorimotor models that exhibit the characteristics of biological perceptual and motor systems. We will combine state-of-the-art psychophysical techniques with eye and motion tracking to gather data that critically evaluate these models’ predictions.
