Ensemble perception and visual averaging refer to the remarkable capacity of the human visual system to extract statistical summaries from groups of objects. By pooling similar features – such as ...

Perceptual video coding is an advanced compression strategy that exploits the characteristics of the human visual system to reduce data rates while preserving perceived video quality. By incorporating ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT) have led to the rapid expansion of sensory nodes, which can produce an enormous volume of raw analog data that is converted into digital ...

Researchers at the University of Helsinki have made a breakthrough in understanding what neural mechanisms allow the extreme sensitivity of human vision in darkness. The new research shows that humans ...

Audio cues can not only help us to recognize objects more quickly but can even alter our visual perception. That is, pair birdsong with a bird and we see a bird -- but replace that birdsong with a ...

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 ...

Past research has suggested that people's cultural differences may result in differences in basic visual perception. New research found no evidence that these differences play a significant role in ...
