Visual motion perception underpins behaviors ranging from navigation to depth perception and grasping. Our limited access to biological systems constrains our understanding of how motion is processed within the brain. Here we explore properties of mo...

The fact that the transmission and processing of visual information in the brain takes time presents a problem for the accurate real-time localization of a moving object. One way this problem might be solved is extrapolation: using an object's past t...

Sitting in a static railway carriage can produce illusory self-motion if the train on an adjoining track moves off. While our visual system registers motion, vestibular signals indicate that we are stationary. The brain is faced with a difficult chal...

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have made significant advances over the past decade with visual recognition, matching or exceeding human performance on certain tasks. Visual recognition is subserved by the ventral stream of the visual system, wh...

Group activity recognition (GAR) aiming at understanding the behavior of a group of people in a video clip has received increasing attention recently. Nevertheless, most of the existing solutions ignore that not all the persons contribute to the grou...
Despite the profound implications of self-organization in animal groups for collective behaviors, understanding the fundamental principles and applying them to swarm robotics remains incomplete. Here we propose a heuristic measure of perception of mo...

There are primarily two classes of bio-inspired looming perception visual systems. The first class employs hierarchical neural networks inspired by well-acknowledged anatomical pathways responsible for looming perception, and the second maps nonlinea...

Efficient sensory detection requires the capacity to ignore task-irrelevant information, for example when optic flow patterns created by egomotion need to be disentangled from object perception. To investigate how this is achieved in the visual syste...

Detecting small moving objects in complex backgrounds from an overhead perspective is a highly challenging task for machine vision systems. As an inspiration from nature, the avian visual system is capable of processing motion information in various ...
The ability to process visual stimuli rich with motion represents an essential skill for animal survival and is largely already present at the onset of vision. Although the exact mechanisms underlying its maturation remain elusive, spontaneous activi...
