Our eyes can frequently play tricks on us, but scientists have discovered that some artificial intelligence can fall for the ...

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 ...

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 ...

This optical illusion puzzle challenges observation skills by hiding an odd number among similar digits. Backed by visual ...

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 ...

This optical illusion will test your brain's ability to zone out while looking at repetitive patterns. Can you find the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A convolutional 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 ...

Visual illusions offer a unique way to study how the brain processes what it sees. Even though the eyes may capture a scene accurately, the brain interprets that information in ways that can be ...
