I’ve asked you before and you failed to explain yourself then, or were unable to explain.
did you have problems understanding the wikipedia entry?

Sometimes talking to grudge and getting a none bitter response is like falling off a bike and landing on your teeth.

what is visual cognition? neuroscience related to visual stimulus or the optical tissue in the brain and eyes?

What is tuition? $6K or so?
Our program gives a $24K stipend and we don't pay tuition; that's a fairly standard package for grad programs.

Still have to pay student fees, though. :icon8:

wow that's a really good standard package - what program/uni is it?

yea tutition is about $5k from what i understand

my standard funding is $17k (research and teaching assistantship), but there's a $4k entrance scholarship plus my supervisor's offered me a $10k CIHR scholarship (canadian institutes of health research)

yea trying to understand how the brain processes visual information - it's often combined with research into motor performance, attention, etc.

One of the specialities of the lab I'll be working in is perception of form - so for example face perception. Understanding how the brain neurally encodes and processes higher order visual constructs.

I love the inner workings of the brain. Have you heard about the simulation of a brain hemisphere of a mouse? Done on the blue supercomputer w/ 4096 cpu's. You think this is a correct representation?

here's the paper http://www.modha.org/papers/rj10404.pdf

Cool stuff. I didn't realize you were studying in cognitive neuroscience. Sam Harris should be right up your alley in the debates after all.

very nice, I'm from a cognitive science background myself, and I remember the neuropsychology classes to be very interersting
