What's New: 02.16.04

Our research was featured on Dateline NBC (January 16, 2004) and in Michael Shermer's column in the March 2004 issue of Scientific American.

Daniel Simons and Chris Chabris received the 2004 Ig Nobel "Award" for their studies of inattentional blindness.

Stimuli from our studies of change blindness and inattentional blindness can be viewed on our demo page. Please read the use restrictions at the top of that page.

If you would like to use our videos in your own work, you can purchase the "Surprising Studies" DVD from VisCog Productions. The DVD is the only form in which these videos are available for use. For more information or to order, go to: www.viscog.com.

The change detection database currently has listings from over 60 researchers. It is currently undergoing a site-wide overhaul soon.

VisCog.net is a database of researchers studying visual cognition as well as links to other information about visual cognition. It is currently offline for updating and redesign.
