I don’t really have that. I love being taken care of. Here is a list of people who need to be explicitly thanked because they have done it so frequently and are so good at it: Chris: thank you for being my support system across so many contexts, for spinning with me, for constantly reminding me what I’m capable of both in and out of the lab. Thank you for validating and often mirroring my emotions, and for never leaving a conflict unresolved. Rennie: thank you for being totally different from me and yet somehow understanding the depths of my opinions and thought experiments. Thank you for being able to talk about magic. Thank you for being my biggest ego boost and accepting when I internalize it. Ben: thank you for taking the most important classes with me so that I could get even more out of them by sharing. Thank you for keeping track of priorities (quality dining: yes, emotional explanations: yes, fretting about appearances: nu-uh). #AshHatchtag & Stella & Master Tran: thank you for being a ceaseless source of cheer and laughter and color and love this year.

  • Visual Problems After Brain Injury
    Visual problems after brain injury As a charity, we rely on donations from people like you to continue providing free information to people affected by brain injury. Donate today: www.headway.org.uk/donate Introduction Vision is the skill that allows us to see the world around us. When we look at the world, a complex series of processes takes place between the eyes and the brain. The eyes take in the information, while the brain (which is connected to the eyes by a nerve called the optic nerve) is responsible for processing and interpreting it. Through this system we are able to see things such as colours, shapes, movement, objects and people. When the brain is injured, the ability to interpret visual information can be affected in different ways. This factsheet has been written to explain how brain injury can affect vision and how to seek professional support with these issues. Tips for coping with visual problems are also offered. Words in bold are defined in a glossary at the end of the factsheet. What is vision? There are lots of different aspects of vision. Some of the things the brain needs to do to decode information that it receives from the eyes are: • process the shape and colour of objects • process and merge information received from both eyes • recall information from memory to recognise objects or places • process the movement of objects • process the location and position of an object in space • process information across the visual field (including peripheral vision) Generally, different parts of the brain are responsible for processing these different aspects of vision.

  • Symmetric Networks with Geometric Constraints As Models of Visual Illusions
    S S symmetry Article Symmetric Networks with Geometric Constraints as Models of Visual Illusions Ian Stewart 1,*,† and Martin Golubitsky 2,† 1 Mathematics Institute, University of Warwick, Coventry CV4 7AL, UK 2 Department of Mathematics, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] † These authors contributed equally to this work. Received: 17 May 2019; Accepted: 13 June 2019; Published: 16 June 2019 Abstract: Multistable illusions occur when the visual system interprets the same image in two different ways. We model illusions using dynamic systems based on Wilson networks, which detect combinations of levels of attributes of the image. In most examples presented here, the network has symmetry, which is vital to the analysis of the dynamics. We assume that the visual system has previously learned that certain combinations are geometrically consistent or inconsistent, and model this knowledge by adding suitable excitatory and inhibitory connections between attribute levels. We first discuss 4-node networks for the Necker cube and the rabbit/duck illusion. The main results analyze a more elaborate model for the Necker cube, a 16-node Wilson network whose nodes represent alternative orientations of specific segments of the image. Symmetric Hopf bifurcation is used to show that a small list of natural local geometric consistency conditions leads to alternation between two global percepts: cubes in two different orientations. The model also predicts brief transitional states in which the percept involves impossible rectangles analogous to the Penrose triangle. A tristable illusion generalizing the Necker cube is modelled in a similar manner.
