See what your brain sees

From the way we see the world around us to how we react to what we see, the entirety of our personal experience results from electrical activity among the several billion neurons in our brain.

William Newsome, a professor of neurobiology at Stanford University studies the links between the activity of neurons and how we see motion.

The Department of Psychology at McMaster University, itself known for ground-breaking research on the brain and perception, presents a public lecture by Newsome as part of the Hooker Distinguished Visiting Professor lecture series.

In a free public lecture on Tuesday, Nov. 9, 2004 at 7:30 p.m., Newsome will discuss “Seeing the Mind's Eye,” an exploration linking how we see with deciding what action to take. The talk will be held in the McMaster University Student Centre, third floor, CIBC Hall.
