The Brain and Vision

David Freedman is a Professor of Neurobiology at The University of Chicago, and his research is focused on the brain mechanisms underlying visual perception, memory, and decision making. He will give an overview about how the brain makes sense of the patterns of light entering our eyes, and will also discuss recent work which gives insights into cognitive functions such as visual learning, memory and decision making.
