high-risk research on hard problems in natural and artificial systems:
understand the constraints necessary to "build" a visual system
better articulated models of the intermediate and high-level vision
how vision interacts with other modalities
tools drawn from cognitive science, machine learning, computer vision, computer graphics, and large-scale neuroimaging, including fMRI, DTI, MEG, EEG
