Motion perception, particularly in three dimensions, is a fundamental aspect of human visual processing that enables the interpretation of dynamic environments. The brain combines multiple sensory ...

Visual media has come a long way since the first proto-human cave dwellers used the flickering of torch light to bring the hand-drawn art on their walls to life. Today, the pixel — despite its humble, ...

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 ...

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 tiny visual systems of flying insects have inspired researchers of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) to develop optoelectronic graded neurons for perceiving dynamic motion, enriching ...

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 ...
