What and where pathways refer to a proposed organization of the visual system based on neuroanatomical, electrophysiological, and lesion studies. It describes two information processing streams originating in the occipital cortex , dorsal (which goes to parietal cortex ) and ventral (which goes to temporal cortex), which exhibit relative specialization in object recognition ( what ) and spatial vision ( where ).

Keynote talk by Maria Kozhevnikov at the IEEE Virtual Reality 2011 On March 21, Maria Kozhevnikov presented a keynote talk ”Bringing 3D Immersive Virtual Reality Technologies to Visual-Spatial Cognition Research” at the IEEE Virtual Reality 2011, Singapore.
http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mkozhevnlab Our lab is seeking two postdoctoral researchers for a project related to investigation of brain correlates of immersive 3D virtual environments. The main objective of this project is to develop interactive virtual reality simulations for cognitive neuroscience experiments using authoring software packages such as Vizard 3.0 (Virtual Reality toolkit), and investigate, using EEG technology, the differences between brain responses to 2D traditional versus 3D immersive displays. For the first postdoctoral position we are looking for a person holding PhD in cognitive neuroscience or related discipline with background in EEG and ERP methodology, including running experiments and analyzing the data.
