The ability to perceive object motion accurately while in motion oneself is a cornerstone of effective navigation and interaction with the environment. Contemporary research indicates that the brain ...

When comparing two objects, people either rely on internal memories of these objects or run their hands and eyes over them to directly perceive their similarity. The latter approach, a shortcut that ...

People are different, with different backgrounds, different experiences, and different lives. So, it may come as no surprise that how we see things is unique to each of us. But why is that? A recent ...

Improvements in three-dimensional (3D) scanning have enabled quick and accurate scanning of 3D objects, including cultural heritage objects, as 3D point cloud data. However, conventional ...

Researchers at the George Washington University have gained important insight into how the human brain processes an object in the visual system and where in the brain this processing takes place.

Our motion perception is remarkably well tuned to detect small changes in speed and direction. For example, soccer goalkeepers need to precisely judge the speed, direction, and curvature of an ...

The appearance of objects can often change. For example, in dim evenings or fog, the contrast of the objects decreases, making it difficult to distinguish them. However, after repeatedly encountering ...
