Workshop on Natural Environments Tasks and Intelligence
|
Perceptual and motor systems must reflect the natural tasks
the organism performs as well as the properties of the
natural environments in which the organism performs those
tasks. Thus, the aim of this workshop is to stimulate
research in "natural systems analysis," which consists of
several interrelated components: (i) identification and
characterization of natural tasks, (ii) measurement and
analysis of natural scene statistics, (iii) analysis of the
computational requirements of natural tasks, (iv) rigorous
experimental study of neural and behavioral performance in
natural tasks. The emphasis in the 2010 workshop is on the
neural mechanisms underlying performance in natural tasks.
