  Ongoing work in the Purves laboratory is aimed at understanding the perception of brightness, color, motion, and depth in a wholly empirical framework.  More recently, the group has also focused on the perception of speech and musical tones as a means of understanding aspects of auditory aesthetics.  The unifying theme of these projects is the hypothesis that percepts are generated according to a wholly empirical strategy that represents the empirical significance of sensory stimuli rather than their physical properties.
1. The Biological Basis of Musical Tonality.
2. Organization neural networks evolved in simulated visual environments.
3. How Simple Neural Networks Contend with an Inverse Optics Problem.
4. Major and minor, ragas and rasas:tonality and emotion across cultures.
