Jack Cowan Lecture on Form Constants

[Felix Guattari]

MODS: Please move if you believe this is better suited for another forum.

This is an incredible lecture by a brilliant scientist who uses recent theoretical breakthroughs in several fields to construct a model to elegantly explain a common neurovisual phenomenon.

Very highly recommended. The math is definitely pretty advanced, but if you're patient and have a basic grasp of some of the mathematical concepts you can get a lot out of it.

The basic thesis is that the brain is pre-wired to produce in the visual field, particularly under exceptional conditions, a finite array of visual forms.

Real cool shit.
