Bryan Tripp is an Assistant Professor with the Department of Systems Design Engineering and the Centre for Theoretical Neuroscience at the University of Waterloo.
He is interested in understanding how the brain processes information. Professor Tripp is currently studying the visual and motor systems of primates. About half the human brain is dedicated to seeing and moving. We have constant experience with these things, but we only vaguely understand how they work. Professor Tripp believes that to understand these things clearly, we must build computational systems that see and move like humans.
Professor Tripp aims to develop a realistic large-scale model of the visual-motor networks of the primate brain. Biological vision and motor systems outperform artificial systems in many ways, so a better understanding of these systems may lead to technological advances.
