Vision and Perception

Kalanit Grill-Spector, Professor in Psychology at Stanford University, is a vision specialist with a background in computational neuroscience. Her research examines how the brain processes visual information and perceives it. This conversation explores how functional imaging techniques are used to visualize the brain in action and how it functions to recognize people, objects and places. Kalanit also discusses how the anatomical and functional properties of the brain change from infancy to childhood through adulthood, and how this development is related to improved visual recognition abilities.
