The face is the most important area on the human body for visually differentiating between
individuals. When encountering another person, humans initially gaze at and perceive the …

The neural correlates of most cognitive functions in fish are unknown. This project aimed to
identify brain regions involved in visual learning in the cichlid fish Pseudotropheus zebra …

As the characteristics of the visual system we have today are outcomes of our evolutionary
history and our ancestors' adaptation to their environment, comparing susceptibility to …

The discovery of the quantum tunneling (QT) effect—the transmission of particles through a
high potential barrier—was one of the most impressive achievements of quantum mechanics …

Simple Summary Studying visual illusions in animals allows researchers to reveal
similarities and differences between how human and non-human species perceive the world …

It has been argued that humans' susceptibility to visual illusions does not simply reflect
cognitive flaws but rather specific functional adaptations of our perceptual system. The data …

There is no satisfactory neurally-based theory as to how vertebrates that lack a neocortex
discriminate even simple geometric shapes. In fishes, an intact optic tectum is necessary for …

In humans, numerical estimation is affected by perceptual biases, such as those originating
from the spatial arrangement of elements. Different animal species can also make relative …

A Müller-Lyer figure consists only of a line and arrowheads located at both ends of the line.
Many comparative studies have reported that animals perceive Müller-Lyer illusion as …
