A Longer Look at Time: Time Slows Down During Prolonged Eye Contact

Time Slows Down during Accidents

The experienced speed of the passage of time is not constant as time can seem to fly or slow down depending on the circumstances we are in. Anecdotally accidents and other frightening events are extreme examples of the latter; people who have survived accidents often report altered phenomenology including how everything appeared to happen in slow motion. While the experienced phenomenology has ...

Why Time Slows Down during an Accident

After an accident, people often report that it felt a lot longer than it actually could have been in real time. Time seemed to slow down during the event. We tried to conduct a safe experiment in our laboratory to simulate a dangerous situation. We had participants look at a screen on which circles either moved on a collision course toward the participant or moved away from the participant. At ...

A Look at Eye Detection for Unconstrained Environments A Look at Eye Detection for Unconstrained Environments

Eye detection is a necessary processing step for many face recognition algorithms. For some of these algorithms, the eye coordinates are required for proper geometric normalization before recognition. For others, the eyes serve as reference points to locate other significant features on the face, such as the nose and mouth. The eyes, containing significant discriminative information, can even b...
