Lectures and Presentations
The motivation and the content of the Central-Peripheral dichotomy are in the first and second half of this talk in July 2018 , which is best viewed together with the original slides (here is another version (in Sep. 2018) of this lecture, it has a better video quality and is adapted to an audience of largely physicists/theorists at KITP UC Santa Barbara.) Some more recent lectures include:"Recurrence through bottleneck: theory-driven experiments on the central-peripheral dichotomy", presentation in Redwood Institute, UC Berkeley, May 2024
"Looking and seeing in human vision in light of a severe attentional processing bottleneck in the brain", presentation in Redwood Institute, UC Berkeley, July 2023
