Perceptual video coding is an advanced compression strategy that exploits the characteristics of the human visual system to reduce data rates while preserving perceived video quality. By incorporating ...

Perceptual learning and visual cognition constitute an interdisciplinary field that investigates the brain’s remarkable capacity to refine visual processing through experience. By examining how ...

Information processing by the brain is altered in depressed individuals. A study conducted at the University of Helsinki found that in depressed patients, the processing of visual perceptions is also ...
