<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LeftonGuy, post: 94077, member: 149&quot;]I have a trick that may or may not be useful here regarding viewing blurry or pixelated images. I am passing it on for use now or later. </p><p><br /></p><p>I discovered it and used it once when I was studying for my Masters degree in a class taught by a well known professor and internationally recognized author concerning artifical intelligence. He showed us a picture that consisted of what looked like a random collection of dots. He asked my classmates and I if anyone recognized the image. He commented that no one in any class of his had ever recognized the image. He about fell over when he called on me after I raised my hand and correctly identified the image. An image of a cowboy on a bucking bronco. </p><p><br /></p><p>But this is leading somewhere useful, hopefully. My trick is to slightly close my eyes and throw them out of focus a but, rather like squinting at something. For some reason I do not fully understand this allows the brain to kind of fill in the missing or unclear parts of an image. Next time you can&#039;t quite make out a blurry or pixelated image, try squinting at it, I think you may find the results surprising.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a trick I also use when viewing wanted posters, to help me generalize and remember the image. Sometimes small changes in a persons features can cause apparently radical changes in their appearance, but squinting at these images somehow helps to generalize the image and make it possible to recognize that face despite slight changes (like hair color or facial hair).</p><p><br /></p><p>Try it you&#039;ll like it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
