From Europe to Asia to the U.S.: Scientists of visual neuroscience came together at the Systems Vision Science Summer School & Symposium, hosted by Max Planck researcher Li Zhaoping.
Looking forward to a virtual gathering in 2026, and an in-person event again in 2027!

Colors leave unique ‘maps’ in our brains, so consistent across people that Michael Bannert and Andreas Bartels (both MPI for Biological Cybernetics) could predict which color someone saw...just from fMRI data. 🌈🧠 Their findings point to deep evolutionary roots in how we perceive color.

Top-down feedback along the ventral visual pathway is mainly directed to foveal representations, a prediction confirmed by reversed depth illusion. After more than ten years of exploring a new framework, Max Planck researcher Zhaoping Li is sharing her recent findings: shorturl.at/nPdgb
