Stephen E. Palmer is a cognitive scientist known for work on visual perception and the relationship between perception and reality, as evidenced by his textbook *Vision Science* which the readings cite for arguments about faithful depiction and evolutionary constraints on how we represent the world. His work appears here to ground debates about whether our perceptual systems are designed to accurately reflect external reality or to serve other functional purposes, a question central to understanding how artificial vision systems might diverge from human perception. Palmer's framework helps the course think through the assumptions embedded in how we build AI systems that process visual information.
