The first in a series of NICE Research Group presentations.
We see the world around us in immense detail, in real time, and with no apparent effort. Yet we also seem to consistently misinterpret certain stimuli: optical illusions.
In this presentation, Dr Corney will be demonstrating a variety of optical illusions and discussing their nature and cause. Dr Corney will present some recent work using artificial neural networks as a simple model of vision, including the perception of illusions, and he will also discuss the implications for other visual agents, including animals and robots
