[<img(20em+,auto)[Joseph L Cooper|images/josephlcooper.jpg]] I am a ~PhD candidate in the [[Department of Computer Science|http://www.cs.utexas.edu/]] at [[the University of Texas at Austin|http://www.utexas.edu/]] studying the computational basis of human behavior.  I have been focusing on hierarchical models of motor control, but it is my belief that the hierarchical neural mechanisms that support motor control share structure with auditory processing, speech generation, and visual scene understanding.

I am currently working to complete my dissertation research.  It is my intent to take up teaching and researching as a professor at the university level in order to continue working to model human intelligence.

I earned Bachelor's and Master's degrees at [[Brigham Young University|http://www.byu.edu/]] studying in the [[Computer Science Department|http://www.cs.byu.edu/]].  I completed my Master's work under [[Dr. Michael Goodrich|http://faculty.cs.byu.edu/~mike/]].  My thesis involved designing, creating, and testing an interface for controlling small, camera-equipped Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (~UAVs). The project was directed at assisting Wilderness Search and Rescue volunteers in their rescue efforts by creating an intuitive tool for rapidly acquiring imagery of an area. More information about this project is available at the [[BYU WiSAR project page|https://facwiki.cs.byu.edu/WiSAR/index.php/Main_Page]].@@clear:both;display:block; @@

|Description|adds support for resizing images|
This plugin adds optional syntax to scale an image to a specified width and height and/or interactively resize the image with the mouse.
!!!!!Usage
<<<
The extended image syntax is:
{{{
[img(w+,h+)[...][...]]
}}}
where ''(w,h)'' indicates the desired width and height (in CSS units, e.g., px, em, cm, in, or %). Use ''auto'' (or a blank value) for either dimension to scale that dimension proportionally (i.e., maintain the aspect ratio). You can also calculate a CSS value 'on-the-fly' by using a //javascript expression// enclosed between """{{""" and """}}""". Appending a plus sign (+) to a dimension enables interactive resizing in that dimension (by dragging the mouse inside the image). Use ~SHIFT-click to show the full-sized (un-scaled) image. Use ~CTRL-click to restore the starting size (either scaled or full-sized).
<<<
!!!!!Examples
<<<
{{{
[img(100px+,75px+)[images/meow2.jpg]]
}}}
[img(100px+,75px+)[images/meow2.jpg]]

[<img(34%+,+)[images/meow.gif]]

My research as a ~PhD student in Computer Science is on hierarchical perception and motor control.  We know that the brain is composed of relatively simple (although not that simple) units (neurons) in a remarkably complex hierarchical structure.  What is this hierarchy doing?  We accomplish a given task by setting sub-goals which may themselves be broken down into sub-goals.  Memory and mental simulation as well as vestibular, tactile, proprioceptive, and visual input inform the mind on how well the task is progressing.  The brain sends output to the muscles to drive the body toward accomplishing the goals.  

[>img[vrRacquetballSmall.jpg][vrRacquetball.jpg]]How this happens is a bit of a mystery, but we know that it allows humans to solve a remarkably varied set of problems.  In order to get a glimpse into this phenomenon, we use two general tools: forward modeling and reverse engineering.  Both techniques rely on each other in order.  Forward modeling involves taking some description of a simple motor task and trying to build a simulated system that accomplishes it.  Reverse engineering involves taking data from humans performing a task (both the inputs to the human and outputs from the human to the extent possible) and then trying to find patterns and order within the data.  Ideally, both methods work in a loop where we capture data and build a model from observations on those data.  Then we test the model to see how well it matches new data, just like in most machine learning applications.

Acquiring data is pretty fun in our lab.  With a [[PhaseSpace|http://phasespace.com/]] motion capture system and several head-mounted displays ([[nVis SX111|http://www.nvisinc.com/product.php?id=48]] and [[V8 hmd|http://www.virtualresearch.com/products/v8.htm]]), we have the tools we need to build compelling, interactive, virtual scenarios.  To some extent, we can carefully control the visual and auditory inputs received by the human and record the motion that the human generates in response.  We also use [[32-channel wireless EMG|http://www.myopac.com/]] to read muscle activation, eye-tracking cameras ([[1|http://www.asleyetracking.com/Site/]],[[2|http://www.arringtonresearch.com/]]) to follow gaze, Wii-fit [[balance boards|https://github.com/rpavlik/wiiuse/]] to measure forces, Wii remotes with the motion-plus plugin for inertial measurements, and microphones for auditory data.<html><br clear=all></html>
