My graduation project was under the guidance of Peter König and Selim Onat in cooperation with Charles Gray. I compared monkey and human eye movements with respect to low-level properties of natural scenes in gray-level photographs. The table below illustrates rather striking high-level differences between fixated locations on images that were shown to humans and monkeys in the experiments.

The images were provided by Charles Gray from the University of Montana State University at Bozeman, where the experiment with the monkeys was conducted.
