How the brain decodes the visual world
In short: Explore the fundamental mechanics of sight in this introduction to visual neuroscience, covering how neurons communicate and how the brain processes complex visual recognition.
This lecture from MIT's 2015 Summer Course, RES.9-003 Brains, Minds and Machines, examines the biological architecture of vision. It details the structure of neurons and their information-sharing processes, alongside brain anatomy and the specific dorsal and ventral visual pathways.
The presentation specifically investigates the ventral pathway and its role in visual recognition, while also introducing methods used to probe the behavior of neural circuits.
