David Milner

David Milner is a renowned British neuroscientist known for his research on how the brain processes visual information and controls attention. He helped develop the two-streams hypothesis, which explains that the brain has two main pathways for understanding what we see: one that identifies objects and their properties (the "what" pathway), and another that helps us navigate and interact with our environment (the "where/how" pathway). His work has deepened our understanding of visual perception, perception-action integration, and attention, contributing significantly to cognitive neuroscience and how we understand brain function related to vision and behavior.
