Yay, more PR-speak -- but it might be worth finding the actual articles
behind these blurbs:
"The brain is constantly compromising as it pieces together
information, often ignoring or downplaying small visual changes in the
world that do not fit with its expectations. This process - far from
being flawed - shows that the brain functions optimally, say University
of Toronto researchers."

"Earlier studies in our lab had shown the visual system that gives us
the conscious experience of a coffee cup sitting on our desk isn�t the
same one that guides our hand to pick it up," says Mel Goodale, Canada
Research Chair in Visual Neuroscience and professor in the Departments
of Psychology and Physiology & Pharmacology at Western. "Our new
research shows these two brain systems deal with incoming visual
information in fundamentally different ways."
