Neuroscience
VSS is the Vision Science's Society conference that's held every year in Naples, FL. I couldn't make it this year, but they have a contest for the best new visual illusion that's usually a pretty good show; illusions are getting cleverer.
This is this year's winner:
There's actually visual information that something is wrong that's available before they rotate the display - 5 internet points to anyone who points it out!
- Visual Illusion Could Help Prevent Falls
Visual illusions are not only fun, they also help show how the brain works by exploiting its shortcomings. But what about using visual illusions for practical benefit? By making a step look taller than it really is, David Elliott and colleagues have demonstrated...
- Artificial Eyesight
New device allows woman to see, even without eyes (recent local TV report) Futuristic System Brings Vision To Blind (2002, ScienceDaily) The visual quality seems rather low, but it's still a promising approach. A glasses-mounted camera transmits...
- Vision Therapy, A Personal Perspective
My vision buddy Heather has just started blogging about her experiences with vision therapy. She calls it "One Eyed Girl - My Life with Strabismus: [a] Journal of living with monocular vision and learning through Vision Therapy to use both eyes." I went...
- Visual Illusions And Direct Perception
A while back I reviewed a bunch of papers by Rob Withagen who is currently arguing that while perception is not typically based in specifying variables, it can and should still be ecological in nature. While we are also developing an account of information...
- A Note On Holt On Visual Illusions (heft, 2001)
This is a visual illusion. When you look at it, there appears to be a great deal of motion as things rotate in various directions. But there's no actual motion; this isn't an animated display and you can verify this by fixating the centre or touching...
