The primary benefit of this project is to basic science and tertiary teaching globally. Visual processing and how it activates attention and operates to guide actions and cognitive behaviour is fundamental to our understanding of life and brain evolution. In particular this new knowledge will further understanding of many cognitive symptoms associated with neurodevelopmental disorders and in the future should lead to design of better educational technologies for such children. Similarly understanding of temporal sequencing of vision has commercial implications for design of bionic eyes and robotic vision processing.

该项目的主要好处是全球基础科学和高等教育教学。视觉处理以及它如何激活注意力并指导行动和认知行为是我们理解生命和大脑进化的基础。特别是这种新的知识将进一步了解与神经发育障碍相关的许多认知症状，并在未来应导致为这些儿童设计更好的教育技术。类似地，对视觉时间序列的理解对于仿生眼的设计和机器人视觉处理具有商业意义。
