Hybrid Colloquium: Studying representational dynamics in statistical perception

Abstract:
To overcome variability, estimate scene characteristics, and compress sensory input, perceptual systems pool sensory data into statistical summaries. Despite growing evidence for statistical summaries in perceptions, the underlying neural mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this talk, I will present our recent works on representational dynamics of both sequential and concurrent averaging process, respectively. Then, I will talk about how we experience visual world by presenting a behavioral study on the serial dependence of ensemble representation that combines both spatial and temporal integration processes. Hopefully, if I can make it in time, I’d like to share our recent study on the multivariate EEG pattern analysis of induced astigmatism. https://centers.ibs.re.kr/html/glia_en/people/people_0203.html
