Abstract:
Exploring how internal models influence idiosyncrasies in visual experience
The brain is generally regarded as a predictive system that relates sensory stimuli to internally generated models of how the world should appear. However, little is known about the characteristics of these internal models and how they differ from individual to individual. Funded by the European Research Council, the PEP project aims to systematically explore the content of internal models through methodical analysis of individuals’ drawings that depict real-life scenes. The conclusions gathered will form the basis for extensive cognitive, neural and computational research to determine how internal models relate to individual visual and linguistic experience, functional brain architecture and scene perception.
