Those who saw the fourth feline almost immediately may have the ability to see through camouflage.

Researchers at the University of Augusta in 2021 explored a training method developed in 2012 that uses deep learning techniques to train people to see through camouflage.

They trained six volunteers to successfully recognize when something was wrong or different in an image and how to determine if a camouflage scene contained a target.

According to Science alertsome could see the camouflaged target with just a mere 50 milliseconds glance at the image.
