Monkeys use different part of the brain for depth perception than human beings
(WorldNews Belgium)

Our brain relies on 2D information to create a 3D image of the world. Human beings use a different part of their brain to do this than monkeys, says an international team of researchers led by neurophysiologists Marcelo Armendariz and Wim Vanduffel (KU Leuven & Harvard Medical School) in collaboration with a team from Cambridge. Our 3D perception of the world is enabled by a chain of processes in our brain. After all, the retina of our eyes, which registers the images, is a 2D structure. To reconstruct these 2D signals into a 3D image of the world, our brain uses a whole range of cues, including information...
