Dressmakers Have Superior 3D Vision

Guest: Adrien Chopin, PhD, Postdoctoral Researcher in Visual Neuroscience, UC Berkeley Threading a needle usually takes a few stabs. Getting the thread into that tiny hole on the first try is just plain luck. Perhaps our depth perception is a bit lacking. There’s a specific visual skill involved in threading a needle, catching a ball, parking a car. And a small study out of the University of California, Berkeley suggests people who are successful in certain profession excel at this thing called 3D vision.
