The Institute brings together researchers in the common pursuit of an understanding of the human mind, and fosters the development of new technology arising from this understanding. Over 40 Penn faculty members across 5 departments are currently associated with IRCS, linking together the disciplines of computer and information science, linguistics, mathematical logic, neuroscience, philosophy, and psychology. Listed below are researchers whose area of investigation may be relevant to this newsgroup: Department of Computer and Information Science ----------------------------------------------- Norman Badler - Computational models of action, language and graphics. Ruzena Bajcsy - Computer vision, robotics, integration of sensory information. Jean Gallier - Geometry and applications to graphics, robotics, vision, geometry of curves and surfaces, CAGD, differential geometry and classical mechanics. Dimitri Metaxas - Physics-based modeling and simulation, computer graphics and animation, computational vision, scientific visualization.
