When faced with potential predators, animals instinctively decide whether there is a threat
they should escape from, and also when, how, and where to take evasive action. While …

Bringing about desirable collisions (making interceptions) and avoiding unwanted collisions
are critically important sensorimotor skills, which appear to require us to estimate the time …

Accurately detecting a potential collision and triggering a timely escape response is critical
in the field of robotics and autonomous vehicle safety. The lobula giant movement detector …

Today's autonomous drones have reaction times of tens of milliseconds, which is not
enough for navigating fast in complex dynamic environments. To safely avoid fast moving …

Information Visualization: Perception for Design, Fourth Edition explores the art and science
of why we see objects the way we do. Based on the science of perception and vision, the …

First published in 1995, The Visual Brain in Action remains a seminal publication in the
cognitive sciences. It presents a model for understanding the visual processing underlying …

This comprehensively updated and expanded revision of the successful second edition
continues to provide detailed coverage of the ever-growing range of research topics in …

Animals respond to environmental threats, eg looming visual stimuli, with innate defensive
behaviors such as escape and freezing. The key neural circuits that participate in the …

Attention capture is often operationally defined as speeded search performance when an
otherwise nonpredictive stimulus happens to be the target of a visual search. That is, if a …

This book closely examines what is involved in driving. It identifies the aspects of perception,
attention, learning, memory, decision making and action control which are drawn upon in …
