However, new research disproves this notion, saying that the human brain isn’t so easily tricked. In fact, it would only take a second to tell which a human is and which an android is. The study was conducted by a team of researchers from the University of California, Berkeley and was published in the Nature Communications journal November edition, MedicalXpress reports. The results of the research suggest that the human brain’s capacity to rapidly take in information and then process it would make it very difficult for androids to actually pass as humans. In what the researchers are calling the "ensemble lifelikeness perception," it would appear that the brain has a visual mechanism which detects distinctions on things that are of realworld objects and that of the virtual or artificial kind. Just as humans know that they are looking at virtual reality when looking through devices like the Oculus Rift, so can the brain tell if something is a real human or something else, the study’s lead author Allison Yamanashi Leib explains. "This unique visual mechanism allows us to perceive what's really alive and what's simulated in just 250 milliseconds," Leib said. "It also guides us to determine the overall level of activity in a scene." The study involved testing a group of 68 adults, all of whom had perfect vision, the Daily Mail reports. The participants were then shown pictures of random objects in rapid succession, most of which stayed on for only 250 milliseconds. When asked to rate the images based on how lifelike they were, the researchers found that the participants were able to accurately distinguish which were fake and which were real. 5m FITCH ON U.S. BUILDING ANF HOME PRODUCT COMPANIESSTABLE OUTLOOK FOR SECTOR REFLECTS EXPECTATIONS FOR A HEALTHY LEVEL OF CONSTRUCTION SPENDING NEXT YEAR 5m FITCH HEALTHY CONSTRUCTION LEVELS WILL BUOY STABLE OUTLOOK FOR U.S. BUILDING AND HOME PRODUCTS SECTOR IN 2017 5m FITCH: HEALTHY GROWTH FOR U.S. BUILDING AND HOME PRODUCT COMPANIES IN 2017 6m U.S. ECONOMY SEEN GROWING 2.9 PCT IN FOURTH QUARTER VS +2.4 PCT ESTIMATE ON NOV 30 ATLANTA FED'S GDPNOW MODEL 32m BRAZIL NOV TRADE BALANCE* INCREASE TO 4.758 BLN $ (FCAST 3.00 BLN $) VS PREV 2.30 BLN $ Released Actual 0.3 % Forecast 0.3 % Previous 0.3 % Released Actual 9.8 % Forecast 10.0 % Previous 10.0 % 0h 57m Actual Forecast 5.10 mln Previous 5.12 mln December 1 10:00 UTC IT GDP Final QQ December 1 10:00 UTC EZ Unemployment Rate December 1 18:30 UTC US Domestic Car Sales* Earth’s Destruction By Mankind Starkly Clear Through Google Earth Timelapse Germany Hit With Cyber Attack, Next One Could Completely Cripple The Internet The Best Way To Start Final Fantasy XV For Both New And Old Players Facebook Aggressively Pushes Gaming Agenda Wi Messenger Games Menu | Technology Search

Androids Can’t Fool The Brain, ItTakes Less Than A Second To KnowThe Difference

Movies and TV shows like West World would like audiences to believe that androids can becomeso lifelike that it would be difficult to differentiate them from humans. However, new researchdisproves this notion, saying that the human brain isn’t so easily tricked. In fact, it would only takea second to tell which a human is and which an android is.

The study was conducted by a team of researchers from the University of California, Berkeley andwas published in the Nature Communications journal November edition, MedicalXpress reports.The results of the research suggest that the human brain’s capacity to rapidly take in informationand then process it would make it very difficult for androids to actually pass as humans.
