The paper tests if humans prefer background-matching visual patterns due to a processing bias, finding support for this preference in an online experiment with over 1700 participants.

This study uses genetic algorithms to explore how lighting and habitat geometry influence optimal camouflage in prey, showing their combined effects on patterning and color.

The paper quantifies how lighting and 3D environment alter scene and object appearance, finding that blue-yellow contrast and pattern directionality are lighting-sensitive, while green-red information remains stable.
