From light to image
The visual pathway provides a map of questions: what the eyes perceive, how form and colour emerge, and how past experience contributes.

Colour and Brain
How light becomes perceived colour: visual illusions, experience and an artistic experiment.
All programmesQuestion and programme
This working lecture programme connects the visual signal pathway with questions about how we construct the visible world. Blind spots, afterimages and context are explored through observation and artistic examples. An agreed neurovisual demonstration can provide material for comparing personal experience.

Gaps and reconstruction
Observing blind spots and afterimages supports discussion of the difference between a physical stimulus and a perceived image.
Artistic exploration
Participants compare descriptions of colours and contexts. An optional EEG demonstration does not establish a universal colour-to-emotion table.
