Two relatively independent areas of visual cognition research examine important aspects of visual object understanding: Object Recognition and Perceptual Categorization. These areas have focused ...

MIT neuroscientists compared the visual object recognition performance of primate brains to that of the latest deep neural networks, which try to mimic our visual system. They found that the best ...

During recognition, a single object can activate appropriate context frames, and context frames can activate representations of expected objects.

Visual object recognition is foundational to processes of categorization, tool use, and real-world problem solving. Despite considerable effort across many disciplines and many specific advances, ...

Skeletal shapes key to rapid recognition of objects A new insight into the human vision system Date: August 20, 2019 Source: Emory Health Sciences Summary: In the blink of an eye, the human visual ...

On the whole, people recognize objects best when they see the objects from a familiar view and worse when they see the objects from views that were previously occluded from sight. Unexpectedly, we ...

As a result, performance on visual recognition tests that use images of common objects are a complex mixture of people's visual ability and their experience with these objects.

When we have a thought, what is the first form that it takes? In all likelihood, it is an image — a visual representation of a feeling, an idea, a memory. We live in a highly visible world, and before ...
