'The locus of the neural mechanism underlying the Craik Effect'
- đ¤ Speaker: Professor Steve Shevell
- đ Date & Time: Friday 25 March 2011, 17:00 - 18:00
- đ Venue: Palmerston Room, Fisher Building, St Johns College
Abstract
The Craik Effect occurs when two identical patches of light appear to differ in brightness because of a light-dark edge between them. The neural basis for the effect remains controversial. A light-dark edge at a monocular level of neural representation will be shown to be neither necessary nor sufficient for the Craik Effect. This implies a binocularly integrated neural representation mediates the illusory brightness difference.
