I'm an artist and I like very much your explanations about bottom-up and top-down relations because I find it as corespondent for structure-meaning relation in art making or even in literary communication. So my question would be which are the most interesting resources you used for this presentation (and especially for this problem)? Or where we can find them? Thanks.
Also I have another question that obsessed me for a very long time. I heard about this theory of graphemes three stages of development in children's drawings at Martin Krampen (semiotician) in „Children's Drawings: Iconic Coding of the Environment” (see also a summary: www.jstor.org/stable/20715558?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents). He found it at Olivier. Did you cover this topic in any of your presentations? Where or what directions of modern research can cover this problem?
manole ioan, I am not familiar with that particular theory, but I believe I have a video lecture from my PSY 4040 class that addresses development of drawing.
Any improvement in neuro understanding of visual processing? I'm not sure if neuro folks are too in the weeds to notice, but this whole theory is basically useless (but I'm sure paper generating) eg "ways brain represents objects... 'modular coding' also 'distributed coding'". Exhaustively labeling the entire theory space is not actual information, it's like saying 'Where is Jane? Neuroscientist: she's in the building... or not in the building'.
