Two relatively independent areas of visual cognition research examine important aspects of visual object understanding: Object Recognition and Perceptual Categorization. These areas have focused on ...

Visual objects in the real world are seen in contextual scenes. These contexts are usually coherent in terms of their physical and semantic content, and they usually occur in typical configurations.

The first study of individual variation in visual ability has shown that there is a broad range of differences in people's capability for recognizing and remembering novel objects and has determined ...

Using data from both humans and nonhuman primates, neuroscientists have found that neuron firing patterns in the IT cortex correlate strongly with success in object-recognition tasks. When the eyes ...

New approaches to the study of vision both from the neurobiological perspective and with a view to the technological development of artificial vision systems: that is the key result of the research ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- For decades, neuroscientists have been trying to design computer networks that can mimic visual skills such as recognizing objects, which the human brain does very accurately and ...

Three decades of psychological research show that our visual and auditory senses work together. Famously, an experiment by Robert Sekuler (1997) found that the presence or absence of a clicking sound ...

University of Tübingen researchers use an artificial neural network to model the visual system Humans and animals have a “number sense,” an inborn ability to register the number of objects in a scene.

When the eyes are open, visual information flows from the retina through the optic nerve and into the brain, which assembles this raw information into objects and scenes. Scientists have previously ...
