Science of Representational Content and Vision

By John Brendan Welsh Ritchie

The general topic of my thesis is how vision science explains what we see,

and how we see it. There are two themes often found in the explanations of vision

science that I focus on. The first is the Distal Object Thesis: the internal representations

that underlie object vision represent properties of entities in the distal

world. The second is the Transformational Thesis: the function of the vision system

is to transform information that is latent in the retinal image into a representational

format that makes it available for use by further perceptual or cognitive systems.

The ultimate aim of my project is to show that these two themes are in tension,

and to suggest how the tension may be resolved.
