The brain’s ability to grasp the „gist” of a visual scene begins earlier than expected
When animals move through complex visual environments, the brain cannot afford to analyze every detail one by one. Instead, it rapidly extracts the overall structure of the scene-for example, the mean (average) direction of motion across many moving elements. This ability, known as ensemble perception, allows the brain to capture the “gist” of a scene at a glance.
