Ji Chen’s team from Southeast University proposes a bioinspired motion detector based on planar metalens arrays. It realizes an ultra-wide 135° field of view and achieves high-precision perception of ...

Motion perception plays a fundamental role in our daily visual experience; it is critical for computing the speed and direction of moving objects and controlling our own body and eye movements. Motion ...

The brain has an astonishing capacity to detect patterns in the world. So much so, that it will often create patterns where none exist. Pareidolia is the tendency to see familiar shapes in random ...

Humans can visually perceive the motion of a small object better than that of a large one. By contrast, according to a study reported in the journal Current Biology on September 5, babies under 6 ...

Experimental design (a) and results for the space experiment (b) and the ground-based control experiments (c & d). BMIE: the normalized BM inversion effect; BMUpr & BMInv: task performances for the ...

Indie game developers or those looking for an affordable motion capture system may be interested to know that the Noitom has now started taking preorders for their Perception Neuron 32 Neuron Edition ...

The brain has an astonishing capacity to detect patterns in the world. So much so, that it will often create patterns where none exist. Pareidolia is the tendency to see familiar shapes in random ...

The same group of neurons encode both actual motion and movement perceived in an optical illusion, according to a study on macaques. A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant food ...

To what extent has Earth's gravity shaped our cognitive and brain functions? Utilizing spaceflight and a ground-based analog, a new study shows that the human brain relies on bodily gravitational ...
