Do you know what you really see in daily life?
What you experience from vision is not the real external environment but the "visual world" created by your visual (neural) system. The information processing underlying the creation of the visual world is intelligent and reasonable for us to survive in different environments. The visual world you experience is a treasure trove of knowledge.
In Nagai Visual Perception Laboratory, we study such information processing in the human visual system.
