Li Zhaoping,[3] born in Shanghai, China, is a neuroscientist at the University of Tübingen in Germany.[4] She is the only woman to win the first place in CUSPEA, a 1980s annual national physics admission examination[5] in China, during CUSPEA's 10-year history (1979–1989). She proposed V1 Saliency Hypothesis (V1SH), and is the author of Understanding vision: theory, models, and data[6] published by Oxford University Press.
Education
[edit]Li Zhaoping graduated from Fudan University in Shanghai in 1984 with a bachelor's degree in physics.[7] During 1984 to 1989, she did her Ph.D. study in Physics in California Institute of Technology.[8] Her Ph.D. supervisor was John J Hopfield.[9]
Career
[edit]After a brief stay in Fermilab, Zhaoping was a member for Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in 1990–1992,[10] and then was a postdoctoral fellow in Rockefeller University in 1992–1994.
In 1998, Li Zhaoping, together with Geoffrey Hinton and Peter Dayan, co-founded the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit in University College London.[11][12]
Currently, Li Zhaoping is a professor at the University of Tübingen.[13] She is also the head of the department of Sensory and Sensorimotor Systems[4] in Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics.
Personal life
[edit]She is married to Prof. Peter Dayan, the director of the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics.
Research and theory
[edit]Li Zhaoping is known as the creator of the V1 Saliency Hypothesis, V1SH (pronounced 'vish'), that the primary visual cortex (V1) in primates creates a saliency map of the visual field to guide visual attention or gaze shifts exogenously.[1][14]
Proposed in the late-1990s, V1SH was unpopular initially, since it was contrary to the main and popular idea that the frontal and parietal areas of the brain are responsible for the saliency map.[15] As V1SH gathered more experimental support,[16][17][18] Zhaoping became more sought after for keynote or invited speeches in international conferences,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] and V1SH rises from being unpopular to being controversial. Some report experimental data for the theory,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33] while others report evidence against it.[34] It is argued that if V1SH holds, then the framework to understand how our brain solves the vision problem should be substantially changed, as described by the Central-peripheral theory which in turn has its own experimental support.[35][36]
Zhaoping also used a model to propose that feedback from the olfactory cortex to the olfactory bulb serves to segment odors from background for individual odor recognition and carries out other top-down controls,[37] this proposal predicts and explains a diversity of behavioral and neural data.[37]
