The visuomotor pathways of the brain are comprised of millions of neurons and complex interconnections among them exist. In order to fully understand visuomotor processes, we needto understand the mechanisms that allow neurons within these areas and between networks to coordinate with each other....

The Neural Encoding of Heterospecific Vocalizations in the Avian Pallium: An Ethological Approach
DownloadFall 2011
Songbirds (order Passeriformes, suborder Oscines) have captured the attention of scientists and non-scientists alike with their vocal signals. The black-capped chickadee (genus Poecile) uses its namesake call, chick-a-dee, to convey a variety of information. In Chapter 2 and 3, I examine the...

The Role of Attention and Perception in the Control of Visually Guided and Memory-Guided Actions
DownloadFall 2012
I investigated the attentional and perceptional mechanisms involved in the control of visually guided and memory-guided actions in two experiments using event-related potentials (ERPS). In the first dual task experiment, participants performed reciprocal aiming in visually guided and...

This thesis aims at improving robot perception for autonomous navigation in highly dynamic environments. In the first part of this research, a fixed frame visual localization method utilizing a fisheye monocular camera is proposed to enhance the navigation accuracy for autonomous mobile robots in...
