Perceiving Brain - Mysteries of the Brain

The video explores how humans and animals perceive the world through senses, focusing on vision. It highlights the complexity of the visual system, where a significant portion of the primate brain is dedicated to processing visual information. Dr. Sabine Kastner's research at Princeton University uses fMRI to study how the brain filters important visual cues from busy scenes. The research underscores the role of neurons and complex networks in perception, with interdisciplinary collaborations aiding in creating models of these networks. The findings have potential applications in technology, such as facial recognition, and in developing treatments for brain disorders.
