Our interdisciplinary research program at the NOVA Lab leverages computational techniques, data science, psychophysics, imaging, and artificial intelligence (AI) to pioneer advancements in visual health. Our goals include democratizing and increasing accessibility of data-scientific techniques for building AI-based systems that can analyze health data at both the individual and population level, as well as advancing our understanding of the brain mechanisms and processes involved in visual recognition. Through collaborations across disciplines, our group has developed several innovative data-scientific methods for extracting information from medical, neuroimaging, and behavioral data. Our work addresses key challenges aiming to improve diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation in eye and brain disorders.
