Come join me as I continue my discussion with Professor Elsner. In this podcast we learn about the connection between language and vision, and how language can help us understand visual systems and vice versa. What does the popular children's game Where's Waldo tell us about how we describe and process visual cues? What is the concept of visual salience and how does it relate to language? We discuss the Gricean process and how we make inferences from what is unspoken, and how this concept extends to how we describe what we see.
