School of Philosophy and Bioethics

Perception – what we see – is a core philosophical area of debate. It is also the focus of intense neuroscientific research. To extract the philosophical lessons of recent perceptual neuroscience, the School of Philosophy and Bioethics is organising a half-day workshop, Dichotomies of the Visual Brain, at which two influential neuroscientists will present recent findings and theories on perceptual streams in the brain.

Speakers: Prof. Melvyn Goodale, University of Western Ontario, and Dr Steven Miller, Monash University and the Alfred Psychiatry Research Centre.
Date: Tuesday, June 17th, 2008 (2.00 pm to 4.30 pm).
Venue: Manton Rooms, Menzies Building, Monash Clayton Campus.
