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 ...

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 ...

Motion perception is the process of inferring the speed and direction of objects that move in a visual scene given some visual input. While this process appears straighforward to most observers, it ...

Neurobiologists have determined the number of circuits needed to see movements. Researchers are only beginning to grasp the complexity of the nerve cell circuits necessary to perceive motion. Surely, ...

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 ...

This release is available in German. Surely, everybody knows this phenomenon: an animal doesn't stand out against its background and becomes visible to us only when it moves. The reason behind this is ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new motion capture system has been created by the team at Perception Neuron which has been designed to be both adaptive and affordable and uses one of the world’s smallest IMU. The Perception Neuron ...

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 ...
