Visual Pattern Recognition

Perceiving the visual world around us is one of the most basic acts of everyday experience. Although pattern recognition may seem effortless, it is actually a complex problem--so much so that the visual areas responsible for this process occupy up to one-half of our cortex. Fundamental to our perception is the transformation of the light array that falls on our retinae into coherent surfaces and objects. How this is done is still a matter of some debate, but results from psychophysical, neuropsychological, nd physiological studies point towards a remarkably adaptive system that supports a wide range of recognition tasks.
