[People] with more yellow in their macula may have an advantage when it comes to filtering out atmospheric particles that obscure one's vision, commonly known as haze. According to a new University of Georgia study, people with…
How do we change or mis-remember what we see with our own eyes? New research from the department of psychology seeks to unpack this intriguing process:
In just a few short seconds, the human brain helps most people extend the scene beyond what is actually seen.
Scientists at the University of Delaware discovered this concept in 1989 when they showed study participants real photographs of 20 scenes for 15 seconds and then had participants draw a…
