Profile

Dr Alison Todman is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Mathematical and Information Sciences, Coventry University, UK. Her main research interests relate to the computational modelling of low-level visual processes in the brain and the application of perceptually-based mechanisms to the analysis of medical images. Previous work, carried out at The University of Birmingham, UK, investigated the potential of applying computational models of perceptual closure to the segmentation of cell boundaries in images of striated muscle tissue. Current work focuses on feature extraction processes in the visual cortex and the development of metrics based on human perception for use in quantitative histopathology.
