Motion is characterized by a series of positions an object traverses over time. An object presented sequentially at two positions, with a time delay between them, is sufficient for us to perceive ...

A critical function performed by visual systems is the fast and reliable detection of features within the environment, such as moving objects or approaching threats. Neurons predicted to encode these ...

Researchers from HSE University and the University of California San Diego, Igor Utochkin and Timothy Brady, have found new evidence of hierarchical encoding of images in visual working memory. It ...

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 ...

Temporal integration in the visual system causes fast-moving objects to generate static, oriented traces ('motion streaks'), which could be used to help judge direction of motion. While human ...
