Research Interests

Professor Orchard's main research interest is computational neuroscience. He uses unsupervised learning methods to train neural network models of the mammalian visual system. The goal is to uncover the algorithm that the brain uses to adjust its connections and encode information. He is an affiliate of the Centre for Theoretical Neuroscience.

He has also done research in the area of image processing and medical imaging. Most recently, he has developed a method to register (align) several images simultaneously; this is a departure from the conventional two-at-a-time registration. He has also published a number of other papers on image registration, image reconstruction for MRI and CT, denoising, image mosaicking, and forensic image processing.
