Abstract
Visual perception has perplexed researchers in philosophy and psychology for centuries. Now it’s also perplexing computer scientists. Despite persistent efforts by many noted scientists, it is still unclear how our brain “sees” the visual signals received by our eyes [10]. Earlier it was believed that a good understanding of optics, the retinal image, and the anatomy and physiology of eye and brain would unravel the puzzle of visual perception. However, the many advances in these fields have not solved the problem.
This research was supported by the National Science Foundation under grant number MCS81000148.
