How does perception of objects arise? Objects undergo huge changes in appearance due to deformation, perspective change, & dynamic occlusion. We prove from first principles that it’s possible, without learning, to perceive invariant objects despite this.

So interesting to read this, especially as someone with the fortune to be a colleague of his son Erik, who carries on the tradition of blazing originality and kindness to the next generation, someone who sees science as something beautiful to share
A book and a letter that changed my life. After I read The Geometry of Biological Time, I wrote to its author and asked if I could come work with him. His reply, scrawled in his characteristic magic marker, led to his becoming my most important mentor.

Sad to hear Anne Treisman has died. My dream is to find the object pointer that she so elegantly showed must exist. I wish I could have met her.
