Brian creates neural network models of vision, audition, motor control, and cognitive control. He is currently working on experiments and connectionist models of endogenous self-control and self-directed learning in children, so that he can teach our robots how to teach themselves.
 
Brian coauthored Generalization of Figure-Ground Segmentation from Binocular to Monocular Vision in an Embodied Biological Brain Model, Dopamine and Self-Directed Learning, Improving search in Wikipedia through quality and concept discovery, Exploring the Feasibility of Automatically Rating Online Article Quality, WikiCite: a Platform for Crowdsourcing and Discussing Citations in Context, and Bidirectional Biological Object Recognition and Figure-Ground Segmentation.
