Natural Intelligence interest group

This interest group is organized by Dr. Li Zhaoping. Currently, the group focuses on the visual sense,  it also studies olfaction, audition, and other brain computations or related, using both theoretical and experimental approaches.

We often get together for lunches and journal clubs. If you are at or near UCL and like to join the group, pleases contact Li Zhaoping
