Funded Activity Summary

The advantage of being magnocellular: the role of the dorsal visual stream in object identification. The primary benefit of this project is to basic science and tertiary teaching globally. Visual processing and how it activates attention and operates to guide actions and cognitive behaviour is fundamental to our understanding of life and brain evolution. In particular this new knowledge will further understanding of many cognitive symptoms associated with neurodevelopmental disorders and in the future should lead to design of better educational technologies for such children. Similarly understanding of temporal sequencing of vision has commercial implications for design of bionic eyes and robotic vision processing.
