British neuroscientist whose levels of analysis framework structures vision research.
Quotes by David Marr
Understanding the mind requires bridging the gap between psychology and physiology.
The real problem of vision is to infer properties of the world from images.
Primate vision evolved to solve specific computational problems.
The 2.5D sketch represents the visible surface of objects.
Depth perception relies on multiple cues integrated computationally.
The zero-order description is simply the raw intensity image.
The 3D model representation captures the full volumetric structure.
Computation in the brain is both parallel and hierarchical.
Neuroscience without computation is blind; computation without neuroscience is empty.
The mind is to the brain as software is to hardware.
In pursuing the understanding of complex systems, one must seek the general principles.
Life's brevity teaches us to focus on what truly matters in science.
The pursuit of knowledge is a noble endeavor, even if incomplete.
Vision reveals the world, but computation unveils its secrets.
Errors in perception are clues to the underlying algorithms.
The boundary between psychology and AI is dissolving.
To map the brain is to chart the mind's architecture.
Simplicity in theory often hides profound complexity in implementation.
The eye sees, but the mind interprets.
In science, as in life, persistence uncovers truth.
