The "ability to recognize target objects surrounded by distracters is one of the remarkable functions of our nervous system" and a function recently studied, announced a post on MedicalNewsToday. "'Visual search is an important task for the brain. Surprisingly, even in a complex task like detecting an object in a scene with distracters, we find that people's performance is near optimal. That means that the brain manages to do the best possible job given the available information,' said Dr. Wei Ji Ma, assistant professor of neuroscience at Baylor College of Medicine. A report on research by him and colleagues from other institutions appears online in the journal Nature Neuroscience.
