Saturday, May 18, 2024, 12:45 – 2:15 pm, Snowy Egret

Organizers: Akihito Maruya, State University of New York and Avi Aizenman, University of Giessen (VSS Student-Postdoc Advisory Committee); Shin’ya Nishida (VSS Board of Directors)

Speakers: Bei Xiao, American University; Miguel Eckstein, University of California, Santa Barbara; Thomas Wallis, TU Darmstadt

 

In recent years, AI has made significant strides, becoming accessible and implementable for many individuals without an extensive background in computer science. Can we harness AI’s capabilities to deepen our understanding of human vision while considering ethical implications? In this context, we introduce three pioneering speakers who currently leverage AI to enrich their comprehension of the visual system.
