Since 2015 Lassonde has offered internal summer research awards to provide research experience for undergraduate students. The LURA program is run jointly with NSERC USRA and ends each summer with a professional conference that includes poster sessions, oral presentations, networking and awards. This year Dr. John Tsotsos supervised undergraduate researcher Brittany Danishevsky. She presented her […]

Venue: CVR 2019, York University Paper: Multiplicative modulations enhance unique hue representation Abstract: There is still much to understand about the color processing mechanisms in the brain and the transformation from cone-opponent representations to perceptual hues. Moreover, it is unclear which areas(s) in the brain represent unique hues. We propose a hierarchical model inspired by […]

Venue: ICVS 2019, Latvia Paper:Multiplicative modulations in hue-selective cells enhance unique hue representation Abstract: Which region in the brain represents unique hues is a matter of debate among color vision researchers [1, 2]. Here, we introduce a hierarchical model inspired by neural mechanisms in the visual system for local hue representation and with computational simulations […]
