Friday 11-12 KOL-3-318
Adrian Schwaninger
Description
How do we recognize that something is a table? How can we recognize a face as "Marilyn Monroe"? The recognition of objects and faces under a variety of perceptual conditions is an important and complex ability of the brain. The main aim of this lecture is to present and contrast different approaches from experimental psychology, computational vision and cognitive neuroscience.
