题目：Neural circuitry for vision and reading
报告人：Brian A. Wandell, Stanford University
报告人简介：
Brian A. Wandell is the first Isaac and Madeline Stein Family Professor. He joined the Stanford Psychology faculty in 1979 and is a member, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering, Ophthalmology, and Radiology. He is Director of Stanford’s Center for Cognitive and Neurobiological Imaging and Deputy Director of Stanford’s Neuroscience Institute. Wandell’s research centers on vision science, spanning topics from visual disorders, reading development in children, to digital imaging devices and algorithms for both magnetic resonance imaging and digital imaging (http://vistalab.stanford.edu/).
报告内容：
We are using structural and functional methods along with computational modeling to identify components of the human brain circuitry that are essential for seeing words. I am hopeful that these methods, supported by reproducible research tools that simplify sharing data and computations, can provide a foundation for a human neuroscience that benefits society.
