title: The brain as a geometer.
abstract: The fragmentary cues we have on the geometric aptitudes of the brain (e.g., in evaluating shapes or appreciating depth) do not lead to a unified model of perceptual geometry. In parallel with physiological studies, aimed at explaining how perception works, I suggest developing the study of the geometrical capabilities of the brain, in order to learn precisely what is accomplished.
