Visual attention and perception represent central processes in human cognition, enabling the selective processing of relevant visual input while filtering extraneous information. This capacity ...

Whether we’re staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...

People rarely notice how their eyes shape their sense of the world, yet new research shows just how powerful this effect can be. A study from Ohio researchers reveals that even small changes in the ...

An illusion is when we see and perceive an object that doesn't match the sensory input that reaches our eyes. In the case of the image below, the sensory input is four Pac Man–like black figures. But ...

Energy efficiency alone cannot justify trade-offs that might undermine safety. To ensure robust performance under all conditions, the researchers integrated a reinforcement learning–based decision ...

Using a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it experiment, researchers from Trinity College Dublin have discovered that individuals differ widely in the rate at which they perceive visual signals. Some people ...

Using a blink-and-you'll-miss-it experiment, researchers have discovered that individuals differ widely in the rate at which they perceive visual signals. Some people perceive a rapidly changing ...

Comparison of depth perception results across different models for autonomous driving. Each column shows the same driving scene under challenging conditions. Competing methods (SCSNet and SE-CFF) ...

New artificial intelligence-generated images that appear to be one thing, but something else entirely when rotated, are helping scientists test the human mind. The work by Johns Hopkins University ...

A new 15-minute tool to screen stroke survivors for visual perception problems has been launched by researchers from Durham and Oxford universities. The free screening tool could make it easier for ...
