Eye, Brain and Decision: A Stanford Retrospective
Bill Newsome, PhD

Stanford University | Host: Stephen Baccus (Baccus Lab)

This seminar is the annual Eric M. Shooter Lecture, co-sponsored by the Department of Neurobiology. Seminar will be at 3PM rather than the usual noontime, join the speaker for a reception in the Theory Center following the seminar.

Across 70 years, the primate visual system has provided a critical test bed for exploring neural mechanisms that mediate visual perception and visually-based decision-making. Some of the most illuminating experiments were performed in my laboratory at Stanford. I will present a cook’s tour of these experiments, including their conceptual origins and key results. The presentation will be enlivened by never-before-seen-in-public photographs and data figures from lab archives. I will close with a few thoughts about academic duty, and why Stanford is such a fantastic place to do neuroscience!

⏰ Time: 12:00-1:00 PM (PT)
Come 15 minutes early (11:45 AM) to enjoy coffee, cookies, and conversation with the speaker and your colleagues (main campus location only)
