BVI Seminar: Exogenous visual attention and the primary visual cortex
Seminar Room, Life Sciences Building Tyndall Avenue, BristolZhaoping Li, University College London I will present a theory that primary visual cortex creates a saliency map to guide attention exogenously, and show how this explains and predicts experimental […]
BVI Seminar: Psychophysical probes into spatial vision: you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
Seminar Room, Life Sciences Building Tyndall Avenue, BristolTim Meese, School of Life and Health Sciences, Aston University. Everyone knows what cosmologists do: they gaze out into the sky to see the secrets of what’s out there, matching observations with theory to understand how the universe came about. Visual psychophysicists are motivated by a similar sense of wonder; but the universe they want to […]
