What is it called when you see something everywhere?

When you start seeing something everywhere, it is often referred to as the "Baader-Meinhof phenomenon" or "frequency illusion." This cognitive bias occurs when you become more aware of a particular thing after being exposed to it, leading you to believe that its prevalence has increased. Essentially, your brain is filtering information based on your recent focus or interest.


Is fire always hot?

Yes, fire is generally hot due to the combustion process that produces heat and light. The temperature can vary depending on the materials burning and the conditions of the fire, but it typically reaches temperatures capable of causing burns and igniting other materials. However, certain controlled flame effects, such as those used in special effects or some laboratory settings, can create the illusion of fire without significant heat.


When a glass rod is immersed in the colourless liquid the glass rod seems to be deappeared why?

Hey! The reason it seems to disappear is because of the refraction and absorption of light and colour. When light enters the colourless liquid, colour is obviously absorbed. The light waves refract ("bounce") off the glass test tube and leave the glass beaker (containing the colourless liquid). Because the liquid and solid are the same colour, it creates the illusion of the test tube disappearing.

What is meant by saliency in image processing?

Saliency is an attempt to determine which regions of an image are the most conspicuous. It's a loosely bio-inspired concept - when processing a new scene a low-level process drives rapid eye movement (called saccades) as the brain seeks to determine what it needs the eyes to focus on first. This calculation is performed by the regions V1-V4 of the primary visual cortex.
