David J. Heeger

David J. Heeger is a neuroscientist and psychologist known for his research on how the brain processes visual information. He studies how our visual cortex interprets light, color, contrast, and patterns to create our perception of the world. His work helps explain how the brain integrates complex visual signals efficiently, contributing to our understanding of vision and perception. Heeger has also developed mathematical models to simulate neural responses, advancing both neuroscience and artificial intelligence. His research is fundamental in understanding sensory processing and can influence technologies like computer vision and visual prosthetics.
