This is an international collaboration with laboratories in Italy and the US, funded for three years by the Human Frontier Science Program. Another project is concerned with the mechanism of high level visual motion perception and the recognition of biological motion. This project is funded for five years by the German Ministry of Science and Technology. For both projects, applications are invited from researchers interested in computational neuroscience, computer vision, visual psychophysics or neurophysiology. Starting date could be immediately or in early 2000.
