C3N Seminar
Jon Winawer, PhD
Professor of Psychology and Neural Science
Department of Psychology

This seminar investigates how visual stimuli are encoded in the visual pathways and how these neural representations give rise to perception and behavior. Using computational models and multimodal data—including fMRI, EEG, ECoG, and psychophysics—the work examines how the visual system integrates information over space and time, what determines perceptual limits, and how neural circuit properties shape measured brain signals. In parallel, it explores how perceptual memory, both recent and long-term, influences visual judgments and decision-making, and how past experience and environmental exposure alter perception across different timescales.
