Visual perception of motion and its accompanying illusions has long fascinated neuroscientists and psychologists alike. This research field examines how the brain compensates for inherent neural ...

Optical illusions are like mini brain tests that are designed to challenge your perception, observation, and visual ...

Our brains create false perceptions through these illusions, which make us see things that do not exist while they distort ...

In this optical illusion picture, the number 28 is hiding among 82’s. Are you one of the selected few with the sharpest ...

The study of visual illusions in animals provides a compelling window into both the evolutionary continuity and diversity of perceptual processes. Research indicates that many species, from domestic ...

We think when we see something, say a small red rosebud, our friend will see the same rosebud, same shape, same size. But this isn’t exactly the case. There’s a surprising amount of variability in how ...

Aconvolutional neural network is a type of artificial neural network in which the neurons are organized into receptive fields in a very similar way to neurons in the visual cortex of a biological ...

Researchers at University College London (UCL) have written a computer program using neural networks which are duped by optical illusions the same way as we do. Their virtual robots, which were ...

Visual illusions are images that can fool even the most observant eyes. Visual illusions are loved by the netizens and have ...

Our visual system is constantly making assumptions about what we see. In one of my first psychology courses in college, our professor used an effect from Disney's classic Haunted Mansion attraction to ...

Scientists did not invent the vast majority of visual illusions. Rather they are the products of artists who have used their insights into the workings of the human eyes and brain to create illusions ...
