A new artificial neural network based on the human brain sheds light on how we process moving images.
The human brain can desensitize background motion and focus on smaller moving objects in the foreground as a result of activity in the middle temporal visual area. However, our ability to pick out smaller objects changes over time. Younger people are better at picking out foreground objects moving, while those over 65 have heightened awareness of objects moving in the background.
Two distinct pathways in the visual system allow us to process 3D motion.
