SUMMARY:Decoding 3-D vision in the human brain - Dr Andrew Welchman\, Depa
 rtment of Psychology

DESCRIPTION:Human perception is remarkably flexible: we experience vivid 3
 -D structure under diverse conditions from the seemingly random dots of a 
 ‘magic eye’ stereogram to the aesthetically beautiful\, but obviously 
 flat\, canvasses of the Old Masters. How does the brain achieve this appar
 ently effortless robustness? Using modern brain imaging methods we are beg
 inning to unpick how different parts of the visual cortex support 3-D perc
 eption\, tracing different computations in the dorsal and ventral pathways
 . In this talk I will describe work that uses functional brain imaging (fM
 RI) in combination with computational analysis techniques to increase our 
 insight into the functions of the visual cortex.
