Why Perception Studies Need to Be Considered in a Wider Context

One the sessions at the Banknote & Currency Conference was ‘Perception Studies: Producing Actionable Information to Support Data-Driven Decision Making’, in the context of: what are the most effective features on a banknote? What do people use to authenticate them? What captures their attention and how do we know?

Participants in the session panel included Mariano Alcañiz of Immersive Neurotechnologies Lab (LabLENI), Manuela Sebastián of Banco de España, Alejandro Alegre of Banco de México, Jaime Guixeres Provinciale of Quatechnion, Jane Raymond of Birmingham University and Secure Perception Research, and Kerre Corbin of De La Rue.

In the next handful of issues we will focus on the contributions of each. In this first article, we concentrate on De La Rue’s take on the context in which perception studies need to be considered.
