[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: September 7, Wednesday, Ed Vul: Structured inference and representations in visual cognition

REMINDER: The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its public lecture as part of the Departmental Colloquium series by Ed Vul, UC San Diego, Department of Psychology Date: wednesday, September 7, 2016 - 17:00-18:30 Host: Jozsef Fiser Structured inference and representations in visual cognition Human cognition can get so much from just a little input by bootstrapping rich expectations about how the world works. Here I will talk about two strands of research that characterize the knowledge and expectations that people bring to bear on problems in visual cognition in a highly structured world. I will describe how visual memory exploits the structure of the world to encode complex scenes, and how perception uses an understanding of physics to extrapolate world dynamics to make predictions and make decisions. Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101.
