A Night at the Museum featuring Mathematical Neuroscience

Kresimir Josic and Zachary Kilpatrick gave an interactive presentation on perceptual rivalry at a recent NSM Culture and Science Series event: "A Night at the Museum" held at the Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land. Perceptual rivalry occurs when perception alternates between multiple interpretations of a scene. Guests were given 3D glasses and asked to view several ambiguous images, to experience the phenomenon first hand. Josic and Kilpatrick are currently working with Yunjiao Wang (TSU) and Haluk Ogmen (ECE at UH), performing experiments and developing stochastic models to understand the dynamics of the alternation process
