Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development ...

Your ability to notice what matters visually comes from an ancient brain system over 500 million years old.

A team of researchers from the Institute for Basic Science, Yonsei University, and the Max Planck Institute have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) technique that brings machine vision ...

Optical illusions play on the brain's biases, tricking it into perceiving images differently than how they really are. And now, in mice, scientists have harnessed an optical illusion to reveal hidden ...

Eye contact and body language are critical in social interaction, but exactly how the brain uses this information in order to inform behavior in real time is not well understood. By combining ...

Every day, various types of sensory information fromthe external environment are transferred to the brainthrough different modalities and then processed to generate a series of coping behaviors. Among ...

In the actual brain’s visual cortex, neurons are connected broadly and smoothly around a central point, with connection strength varying gradually with distance (a, b). This spatial connectivity ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...

Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) technique that brings machine vision closer to how the human brain processes images. Called Lp-Convolution, this method improves the ...
