Making inferences from partial information constitutes a critical aspect of cognition. During visual perception, pattern completion enables recognition of poorly visible or occluded objects. We ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Effectively mimicking the unmatched visual capacities of the human brain while operating within stringent energy constraints poses a formidable challenge for artificial ...

Scientists have invested decades in piecing together how our vision is so good at recognizing what's familiar. A new study overcomes an apparent discrepancy in data to reveal a new insight into how it ...

Optical illusions, especially those with hidden objects, test how quickly and efficiently your brain can analyse visual information. Many illusions rely on our brain's ability to recognise patterns.
