Researchers at Princeton University are studying how the brain determines what information is most important in every day scenes. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, Sabine Kastner, a professor of neuroscience and psychology, is able to peek inside the brain and see what areas are active when a person sees a face, place or object.
