Behavioral studies of pigeons probe the higher levels of                   biological vision.  Preliminary studies with complex visual stimuli             (including natural scenes) have shown great similarities between                pigeon vision and early human vision, despite an evolutionary gap of            100 million years.  This suggests the existence of extraordinarily              robust biological solutions to visual analysis.  Further experiments            on visual shape categorization are to be performed on human and                 pigeon subjects.  The goals are 1) to infer underlying algorithms in            the two species; 2) to examine adaptation of these algorithms to the            circumstances of their use; 3) to formalize the algorithms and their            adaptive capacities mathematically; 4) to synthesize biological                 visual categorization on a computer; and 5) to develop experimental             procedures with the long-term goal of creating artificial visual                machines.
