Abstract
Visual search is a task that each of us rapidly and efficiently performs a thousand times a day, from searching for a coffee cup to looking for a face in a crowd. As a society, we have created many artificial and imperfect but critically important search tasks, such as airport baggage screening and routine mammography. In his Perspective, [Wolfe][1] discusses new work ([ Bichot et al .][2]) that provides insights into how the primate brain performs complex visual search tasks, which might shed light on ways to improve the imperfect artificial search tasks on which we all depend.
