Lecture: The Nature of Seeing
ART, PERCEPTION, AND THE BRAIN
David Wilson, Director Of The Casey Eye Institute, Oregon Health & Science University
The eyes are the window for the brain. Yet there are many mysteries about how our brains make sense of what we see and, more specifically, how we perceive art. Join Dr. Wilson for a wide ranging discussion that will explore the brain science behind visual perception, looking at art, and even the ways our brains are wired to see and experience the natural world.
Presented in partnership with Oregon Health & Science University.
