Li Zhaoping obtained her Ph.D. in physics in 1989 from the California Institute of Technology. In 1998, she helped to found the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit in University College London, where she is currently a professor in Computational Neuroscience in its computer science department.
[This book] demonstrates a beautifully logical approach that has
been the hallmark of Zhaopings career and which more is needed of
to carry the field forward. The preciseness of the mathematics
avoids the confusion often entailed when talking about perception,
and it is a great example of how models can provide clear insight
into a complex biological system.
