During that time he also worked at the New England Primate Center affiliated with Harvard University where he helped in the laboratories of David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel who studied the mammalian visual system. They later received the Nobel Prize for their work describing the neurophysiology of the visual cortex.             In college at Brown University, Robert did original experimental research in the neurophysiology of the mammalian visual system, specifically the superior colliculus. He also minored in computer science and worked part-time in the main campus computer center as a machine operator to earn extra money.

Robert Lufkin and Artificial intelligence

Image
Robert Lufkin  has had an enduring interest in artificial intelligence. From his days in high school, Robert developed rule based computer programming that would generate music in a certain style as specified by the code. He supplemented this knowledge by attending classes at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology [MIT] on the weekends. During that time he also helped in the laboratories of David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel at Harvard University who studied the  mammalian visual system . They later received the Nobel Prize for their revolutionary work describing the neurophysiology of the visual cortex. Their initial results showed both the transformations that occur from one level of processing to the next and how a sequence of these transformations might lead to at least the elements of pattern perception. Their experiments immediately provided a structure for conceptualizing how cortical neurons could be organized to produce perception. This work would foreshadow the developm
