What we see is how we are: new paradigms in visual research.
As most sensory modalities, the visual system needs to deal with very fast changes in the environment. Instead of processing all sensory stimuli, the brain is able to construct a perceptual experience by combining selected sensory input with an ongoing internal activity. Thus, the study of visual perception needs to be approached by examining not only the physical properties of stimuli, but als...
متن کاملUnderstanding What We See: How We Derive Meaning From Vision
Recognising objects goes beyond vision, and requires models that incorporate different aspects of meaning. Most models focus on superordinate categories (e.g., animals, tools) which do not capture the richness of conceptual knowledge. We argue that object recognition must be seen as a dynamic process of transformation from low-level visual input through categorical organisation to specific conc...
متن کاملWe see what we are trained to see, or must we? Some personal lessons from a brush with kuru research
It began in 1957 when I received via a colleague a batch of sera from kuru patients and some controls from Carleton Gajdusek. I was immensely excited, as was Carleton, when I found a quite remarkable elevation of some a and b globulin components in the kuru sera that seemed to be absent from the controls. However, our excitement cooled in the face of more data that indicated that the sera in qu...
متن کاملVisual Perception: Shaping What We See
A new psychophysical study has examined the free flow of perception as observers viewed stimuli with several possible visual interpretations. The results suggest that our subjective impression of such ambiguous patterns may be more closely linked to the brain's encoding of complex shape than previously appreciated.
متن کاملHow the brain decides what we see.
Until recently it was thought that vision shows us what is actually ‘out there’ at any moment. It was supposed that all the images printed on the retina are coded and transmitted to the cortex; thus every detail of our visual experience would mirror faithfully the ongoing events in the stimulus field. The first clues that things are not that simple came from clinical investigations by Ramachand...
