Seeing slow and seeing fast: two limits on perception.
Video cameras have a single temporal limit set by the frame rate. The human visual system has multiple temporal limits set by its various constituent mechanisms. These limits seem to form two groups. A fast group comprises specialized mechanisms for extracting perceptual qualities such as motion direction, depth and edges. The second group, with coarse temporal resolution, includes judgments of...
متن کاملSeeing circles: what limits shape perception?
Humans are remarkably adept at judging shapes and discriminating forms. Forms and shapes are initially sampled by discrete localized visual filters (or receptive fields) in 'early' stages of visual processing. However, more complex higher level filters which integrate or pool information from many local filters may be needed to discern shapes. In order to understand the mechanisms that limit sh...
متن کاملPerception: The seeing ear
Some people perceive colours when they hear words--a phenomenon known as synaesthesia. Brain imaging techniques have revealed the areas of the cortex involved in this rare mingling of the senses.
متن کاملMotion perception: seeing and deciding.
The primate visual system offers unprecedented opportunities for investigating the neural basis of cognition. Even the simplest visual discrimination task requires processing of sensory signals, formation of a decision, and orchestration of a motor response. With our extensive knowledge of the primate visual and oculomotor systems as a base, it is now possible to investigate the neural basis of...
متن کاملSeeing and not seeing.
Recent studies revealed that although subterranean mammals inhabit a dark underground environment, they can still perceive light stimuli and use this to entrain their circadian activity rhythm. Regarding spatial orientation, olfactory and tactile cues are employed for short-distance; whereas for long-distance, subterranean mammals employ the earth's magnetic field and self-generated (vestibular...
