报告题目：The cognitive neural basis of object knowledge

主持人：山世光（中科院计算所）

报告摘要：

Our knowledge about the world serves as a foundation for various cognitive processes including language, object recognition and use, reasoning, and problem solving. How is conceptual knowledge represented in the brain? I will present a series of experiments in my lab that explored this issue, focusing on two issues: 1) The nature of object representation in the visual ventral pathway; 2) The structural and functional basis of the binding across widely distributed object representations across modalities.  We used a convergent of approaches including brain imaging studies with healthy, congenitally blind, and brain-damaged individuals, and the overall results challenge a common view of simple binding of modality-specific attributes for object representation.
