CEC call for proposals on Life like Perception systems
The new FET (*) initiative "Life-like perception systems" (LPS) is now open for proposals. The deadline of the proposals is 17 October 2001. LPS wants to break new ground at the interface between IT and biological sciences. Its objective is to develop integrated perception systems that are inspired from solutions adopted by living... view more... (2001-08-03)
Learned motor programs directly influence the visual perception of movements
When novel movements are learned-for example, in sports-visual and motor learning take place simultaneously. view more (2006-01-10)
Speech perception from cochlear implantation in young deaf children (p 466)
Young children with congenital and prelingual deafness can develop substantial speech-perception abilities up to 5 years after cochlear implantation, concludes a study published in this week’s issue of THE LANCET. Cochlear implants provide access to the speech signal in profoundly deaf children who derive no benefit from acoustic hearing... view more... (2000-08-02)
Barrow scientists solve 200-year-old scientific debate involving visual illusions
Neuroscientists at Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center have discovered a direct link between eye motions and the perception of illusory motion that solves a 200-year-old debate. view more (2008-11-21)
Fine motor skills, social acceptance lower in children with 'lazy eye'
A recent study evaluating the fine motor skills and perceived self esteem of children with amblyopia (or "lazy eye") compared with age-matched children will be presented during the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) 2007 Annual Meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. view more (2007-05-09)
Scientists uncover why picture perception works
A team of scientists has solved a key mystery of visual perception. Why do pictures look the same when viewed from different angles? view more (2005-09-22)
Read My Lips: Using Multiple Senses in Speech Perception
When someone speaks to you, do you see what they are saying? We tend to think of speech as being something we hear, but recent studies suggest that we use a variety of senses for speech perception - that the brain treats speech as something we hear, see and even feel. view more (2009-02-12)
Brain shows humans break down events into smaller units
In order to comprehend the continuous stream of cacophonies and visual stimulation that battle for our attention, humans will breakdown activities into smaller, more digestible chunks, a phenomenon that psychologists describe as "event structure perception." view more (2007-05-02)
Tibetan monks yield clues to brain's regulation of attention
University of Queensland researchers have teamed up with Tibetan Buddhist monks to uncover clues to how meditation can affect perception. view more (2005-06-07)
Fear of crime in Northern Ireland is not irrational
Fear of crime in Northern Ireland is a rational perception and not based just on irrational emotion. This contrasts with the view that fear of crime is a separate issue from the reality of being a victim of crime. The inadequacy of the method for investigating fear of crime has been responsible for misleading the public. view more (1999-03-26)
Time is what we make of it
Ask anyone working on a project, and the biggest complaint one hears is "There's not enough time." But instead of more time, maybe what they need is a change of perception. view more (2009-02-11)
Study: Perceptions might often kick players when they are down
Just like Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown, kicking a football through goal posts can be an elusive task, according to Purdue University research. view more (2009-10-07)
Bumble bees can estimate time intervals
In a finding that broadens our understanding of time perception in the animal kingdom, researchers have discovered that an insect pollinator, the bumble bee, can estimate the duration of time intervals. view more (2006-08-22)

Study: Perception of hole size influenced by performance
Golfers who play well are more likely to see the hole as larger than their poor-playing counterparts, according to a Purdue University researcher. view more (2008-07-08)
Sound adds speed to visual perception
The traditional view of individual brain areas involved in perception of different sensory stimuli-i.e., one brain region involved in hearing and another involved in seeing-has been thrown into doubt in recent years. view more (2008-08-12)
Face processing slows with age
Identifying a face can be difficult when that face is shown for only a fraction of a second. However, young adults have a marked advantage over elderly people in these conditions. view more (2009-09-09)
Study suggests human visual system could make powerful computer
Since the idea of using DNA to create faster, smaller, and more powerful computers originated in 1994, scientists have been scrambling to develop successful ways to use genetic code for computation. view more (2008-07-24)
