Spotting objects amid clutter
Researchers have developed a new algorithm that enables robots to identify objects hidden in 3D data. The new system may help with improving robotic vehicles and autonomous robots. ... Read More...
Brain Learns to Recognize Familiar Faces Regardless of Where They Are in Visual Field
Researchers report facial recognition varies by where they appear in the visual field, and this variability is reduces through learning familiar faces via social interactions. The study reports repeated social interactions tune visual neurons in the face processing network to enable consistent and rapid rapid recognition of familiar faces.... Read More...
Inability to Recognize Faces Linked to Broader Visual Recognition Problems
Researchers report developmental prosopagnosia, or face blindness, occurs as the results of neurobiological problems that broadly affect visual recognition. ... Read More...
