Calibrating Perception

Event Start:
2021-02-11T16:00:00
Event End:
2021-02-11T17:00:00
Event Information:

Sensory systems are constantly recalibrating their sensitivity and response properties to match the statistics of the current stimulus environment. These adaptations are intrinsic to neural coding and affect all stages of processing, profoundly impacting every perceptual experience. In our work we explore how vision is adapted to the natural visual world, and how it adjusts to changes in the world (e.g. as we move to a different environment) or to changes in the observer (e.g. as we age).
