John Tsotsos (York University), “Attentional Mechanisms Bridge Seeing to Looking”

SCIoI, Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057

David Marr wrote 'What does it mean, to see? The plain man's answer (and Aristotle's, too) would be, to know what is where by looking'. Modern vision science has moved beyond Aristotle's view as well as Marr's, although it certainly would not have advanced without the influence of both. Seeing and Looking are different and
