Subsequent search miss causes a reduction in the ability to detect an additional hazard when they spot another. The findings could help modify driver training to help reduce accidents and to develop in-vehicle technologies that focus on accident reduction.
A new study reports on how simultaneous counter-change of luminance at the borders between object and background triggers activity waves in the visual brain.
The intensity of perceptual bias in specific views depends upon posture and the position of your neck, a new study reveals.
Caltech study shows that the distance at which facial photos are taken influences perception.
Contextual information, especially space and sequence, contributes to the distortion of perception in short-term memory.
Contrary to popular belief, a child's visual perception does not reach adult level at age seven. A new study reveals children's visual perception continues to develop and does not reach maturity until age ten.
A new study sheds light on how the brain encodes objects with multiple features, a fundamental task for the perceptual system. Researchers suggest neurons that encode a certain feature, such as shape or color, fire in synchrony with neurons that encode other features of the same object.
Study reveals how changes in pupil size affect the way we perceive our surroundings.
Neural circuits within the retina are able to generate the information required to predict the movement and path of an object before visual signals leave the eye, researchers report.
A new study reports researchers have created a new optical illusion which helps to reveal how our brains determine the material properties of an object.
Facial processing and color processing may engage in similar brain mechanisms.
Due to differences in visual systems, not all animals see the world in the same way.
