  • Title: Learning and Adaptation in Visual Cortex
  • Homepage: http://rocky.psych.ucla.edu/
  • abstract: Early work in cognitive neuroscience focused on localizing cognitive and perceptual functions to specific regions in the human brain. More recent work looks within such regions, to study how neurons represent information and contribute to behavior. This talk will illustrate the latter approach with two lines of research. The first examines whether learning can modify neural representations at early levels of the visual system. The second investigates whether color and form are represented jointly in the visual system.
