To sense depth, humans use both eyes to see three dimensional objects. This sense is present at birth in humans and some animals, such as cats, dogs, owls, and monkeys. [14] Animals with wider-set eyes have a harder time establishing depth, such as horses and cows. A special depth test was used on infants, named The Visual Cliff. [15]
When future positions are predictable, human object tracking performance can be higher than when future positions are unpredictable. However, the benefit seems to disappear when there are more than one or two targets, [23] [24] [22] suggesting that any prediction happening is more limited in processing capacity than other aspects of object ...
Studies of sensory processing in humans and other animals has traditionally been performed one sense at a time, [10] and to the present day, numerous academic societies and journals are largely restricted to considering sensory modalities separately ('Vision Research', 'Hearing Research' etc.). However, there is also a long and parallel history ...
The two-streams hypothesis is a model of the neural processing of vision as well as hearing. [1] The hypothesis, given its initial characterisation in a paper by David Milner and Melvyn A. Goodale in 1992, argues that humans possess two distinct visual systems. [2] Recently there seems to be evidence of two distinct auditory systems as well.
Biologists have determined that humans have extremely good vision compared to the overwhelming majority of animals, particularly in daylight, surpassed only by a few large species of predatory birds. [63] [64] Other animals such as dogs are thought to rely more on senses other than vision, which in turn may be better developed than in humans ...
Within these stages, there are more specific processes that take place to complete the different processing components. In addition, other existing models have proposed integrative hierarchies (top-down and bottom-up), as well as parallel processing, as opposed to this general bottom-up hierarchy.

Martin et al. (1996) [2] found using fMRI that although object-specific responses for tools and animals were found in the left premotor cortex and left medial occipital lobes respectively, identification of both tools and animals produced increased bilateral activation of the ventral temporal lobes. Thus it appears that tools and animals, at ...
