I direct the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program (IDP)
in Cognitive Science.
...and I direct(ed) the Temporal Dynamics of Learning
Center.
Before emailing me about the IDP, please read this presentation on it that I wrote for incoming Neuroscience grads.

I am a Professor in the
Computer Science & Engineering
Department
at
UCSD.
This means I can now go barefoot and there is nothing they
can do about it!
I am a member of the AI Group at UCSD. My
research group, Gary's
Unbelievable Research Unit, publishes unbelievable research. Our
research is strongly interdisciplinary. It concerns using neural
networks and other computational models applied to problems in
cognitive
science
and artificial intelligence, engineering and biology. I have had
success
using them for such disparate tasks as modeling how children acquire
words,
studying how lobsters chew, and nonlinear data compression. Most
recently I have worked on face and object recognition, visual salience
and visual attention, and modeling early visual cortex.
