According to the textbooks in pe rceptual psychology\, the answers are clear: features (e.g.\, color and mot ion)\, objects (e.g.\, trees and cars)\, and scenes (e.g.\, grass fields an d buildings). But of course\, your visual impressions are much richer than that: you may see a cluster of trees not just as green\, but as beautiful\; you may see a metal can not just as reflective\, but as crushed\; and you may see a person walking by not only as moving leftward\, but as avoiding s omeone. Do we only think about such seemingly higher-level properties\, or might we also directly see them? I will share several projects which explor e how visual processing automatically gives rise to impressions of beauty\, causality\, and social intention. These projects\, including studies of tr ansformational apparent motion\, prototype preferences\, and point-light di splays\, will involve both vivid phenomenological demonstrations and variou s computational modeling techniques. I invite you to explore with me how vi sual perception may be ‘smarter’ and more sophisticated than we often assum e.
