The Sinha Laboratory uses a combination of experimental and mathematical modeling techniques to understanding how the human brain recognizes objects and how this skill is learned through visual experience. Professor Sinha's experimental work involves studying the vision impaired, including children with autism and a unique population of children in India who have recovered sight following prolonged periods of congenital blindness. In this context, Professor Sinha has launched a humanitarian and scientific initiative named Project Prakash. The goal of this project is not only to derive clues regarding the nature and development of high-level visual skills, but also to help blind children get treatment and to create rehabilitation routines to help them overcome visual impairments.
