Color Science Seminar: Perception and Action in a Complex World
Color Science Seminar
Perception and Action in a Complex World
Dr. Bianca Baltaretu
Postdoctoral Researcher
Justus Liebig University Giessen
Event Details: Although the world around us seems stable and our actions feel effortless, our brains have to solve a complex set of computations for both visual perception and the execution of accurate actions. To do this, the brain must keep track of how our eyes and bodies move, as well as where objects are spatially located in our environments. The first focus of my research is to understand the underlying cortical mechanisms that lead to a sense of visual stability of the world. I will provide an overview of the nature of the information that is used to achieve this and the related cortical correlates. In addition, to be able to understand our complex interactions with objects in the world around us, it is important to identify how we represent those objects in space. I will also discuss my findings about how learned spatial representations influence goal-directed behavior in naturalistic virtual environments.
