This research concerns computer simulations of the visual system of the brain and development of biologically motivated image processing and computer vision algorithms. For instance, surround suppression of texture edges plays an important role in the detection of object contours in cluttered scenes. more... |

In a joint project with the Department of Dermatology, we develop a diagnosis support system that deploys content-based image retrieval and other intelligent systems techniques. |
Computer support for schizophrenic patients
|
We started a joint project with the group Distributed Systems and the Department of Psychiatry on the creation of a system that will help schizophrenic patients to monitor their state. |
Computer analysis of LifeLines data
In another joint project with
the Faculty of Medicine, we apply machine learning techniques to analyse patient data collected in the LifeLines project (150 000 people) and identify risk factors.
In the past, my research concerned the development of systolic algorithms. I wrote two monographs on this subject.
