Most of you have normal or corrected vision. Thus, you might think that
with training you might be quite competent working in a job that
demanded life-critical perceptual decisions such as finding tumors in
medical images, recognizing hazardous objects in baggage x-rays or
identifying potential dangers in satellite imagery. However, often
overlooked, humans with normal vision differ greatly in in their ability
to make difficult perceptual judgments. Furthermore, humans show
systematic differences in where they direct their eyes when having to
make perceptual judgments such as identifying faces. What might explain
this difference across humans in perceptual performance and eye movement
exploration? Can one infer an individual^Ys perceptual performance from
their neural activity? And are there brain regions and time-periods of
neural activity that are most predictive of human perceptual
performance?
