Physicists hack the human visual system to create “ghost images”

MIT Technology Review  August 31, 2018
Computational ghost imaging technique relies on clever algorithms to crunch the seemingly random data that a single pixel appears to gather. Researchers in the UK have demonstrated that the computational integration can be performed directly with the human eye. They used this human ghost imaging technique to evaluate the temporal response of the eye and establish the image persistence time to be around 20 ms followed by a further 20 ms exponential decay. These persistence times agree with previous studies but can now potentially be extended to include a more precise characterisation of visual stimuli and provide a new experimental tool for the study of visual perception… read more.
