On Friday 13 March we were delighted to welcome Professor Tony Movshon to DPAG, where he delivered his Prize lecture on ‘Using Vision to Understand the Brain’. After a fascinating talk Professor Movshon and guests enjoyed an afternoon tea reception in the Sherrington Library.
Professor J. Anthony Movshon is a world-renowned neuroscientist whose work has shaped how scientists understand the computations of the visual brain. Based at New York University, Movshon’s research spans how the brain interprets form, motion and texture, how visual experience shapes development, and how neural activity guides sight and action. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society, Member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and recipient of multiple honours including the António Champalimaud Vision Award and the Karl Spencer Lashley Award.
