It understands that it\u2019s raining \u2013 and that you\u2019ll probably need an umbrella.<\/p>\n<p>All this in just a few seconds that you\u2019re hardly aware of.

In particular, it will focus on how people process the \u2018material quality\u2019 of objects.<\/p>\n<p>In Japan, there\u2019s a word to describe how human brains make sense of material quality \u2013 Shitsukan. By material quality, we mean the properties of materials, such as whether they are gloss or matt; wet or dusty; metal or ceramic and so on.<\/p>\n<p>While shape plays a big role in how we identify objects, so too does the surface appearance of those objects \u2013 the Shitsukan. And although Shitsukan is just one small part of the brain\u2019s wider sensory processing capabilities, it affects everything from body motor control to behaviour.<\/p>\n<h2>Artificial intelligence<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1144\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2018\/07\/Brainwaves.jpg\" alt=\"brainwaves\" width=\"450\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2018\/07\/Brainwaves.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2018\/07\/Brainwaves-300x230.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The symposium, \u2018Shitsukan approach to digital colour sensing: human colour vision for material quality\u2019, has two aims: answering important scientific questions about the mechanisms of the human senses, and exploring how Shitsukan can be modelled artificially.<\/p>\n<p>By understanding Shitsukan, engineers can begin developing technologies that can recognise, reproduce, edit and control different instances of Shitsukan. This will allow for a discipline of Shitsukan engineering to be developed.<\/p>\n<p>Led by Dr Shin\u2019ya Nishida of NTT Communication Science Laboratories, the Shitsukan project is supported by Japan\u2019s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.<\/p>\n<p>The symposium, which is sponsored by JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotion of Science) and JBUK (Japanese Researcher\u2019s Network Based in the UK), will cover topics ranging from how Shitsukan helps us distinguish mirror from glass to how facial colour distribution influences our perception of pigment spot. In addition to some of Japan&#8217;s leading scientists in the field, the presenters will include Prof David Foster of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eee.manchester.ac.uk\/\">School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering<\/a>, who will discuss human colour vision and hyperspectral imaging.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The symposium takes place 8<sup>th<\/sup> August 2018 in Room D45 of Sackville Street Building.
