"Cortical vision from emergent global dynamics"

Ralf Wessel
Dept. of Physics, Washington University in St. Louis

Host: Michael Goard

 


The confusing thicket of connections between neurons renders the brain a
complex system. We have embarked on deducing how the subjective experience
of vision emerges from the interaction of billions of neurons. Picking up
mathematical tools from established studies of complexity, we infer
network properties from the statistics of neural activity in cerebral cortex
during visual processing. Specifically, I will present evidence for the
notion that brain circuits self-organize to operate at a point of optimized
signal processing, including during intense visual stimulation.
