Hearing space: How the brain constructs the world without vision

CoCo Chalk Talk Series: Big Ideas in Computational Cognition
Speaker: Woon Ju Park, School of Psychology
 
Title: Hearing space: How the brain constructs the world without vision
 
When: Wednesday, April 22 at 3:30 PM
 
 
 ———— 
 
Why come? Woon Ju will tackle some punchy questions at the heart of Computational Cognition itself:
  • What makes hearing fundamentally different from vision?
  • What computations allow the brain to infer space from sound?
  • How does early blindness reorganize these computations, and what does that reveal about brain plasticity?
