Hearing space: How the brain constructs the world without vision
CoCo Chalk Talk Series: Big Ideas in Computational Cognition
Speaker: Woon Ju Park, School of Psychology
Title: Hearing space: How the brain constructs the world without vision
When: Wednesday, April 22 at 3:30 PM
Where: JS Coon 250 (https://gatech.zoom.us/j/99034058441) (Google Calendar invite)

Why come? Woon Ju will tackle some punchy questions at the heart of Computational Cognition itself:
- What makes hearing fundamentally different from vision?
- What computations allow the brain to infer space from sound?
- How does early blindness reorganize these computations, and what does that reveal about brain plasticity?
