OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Our perception is often based on ambiguous and unstable sensory input. Yet, we exhibit a remarkable capacity for making successful perceptual decisions. How do our brains achieve our accurate and stable perception? I will show that the human brain exploits the temporal stability of the world to predict the future and facilitate perception in two distinct ways. In line with my findings in humans, I will show that the mouse visual cortex maintains long-term traces of individual past visual experiences, enabling the visual system to build up a statistical representation of the world to optimize the encoding of new information.
