Scientists used a compact AI model to predict how visual cortex neurons respond to images, revealing hidden patterns in ...

Researchers use AI "digital twins" to discover a new type of neuron in the visual cortex that perceives complex textures and object arrangements.

The visual cortex is the part of the brain that enables visual perception. In this area millions of nerve cells, called ...

Our survival depends upon our ability to observe the world around us accurately and reliably. Disturbances in visual perception occur in a range of psychiatric and neurodevelopmental diseases, ...

An illusion is when we see and perceive an object that doesn't match the sensory input that reaches our eyes. In the case of the image below, the sensory input is four Pac Man–like black figures. But ...

Every time the human eye darts from one point to another, the retinal image smears across the visual field. These rapid jumps ...

First detailed mapping and modeling of thalamus inputs onto visual cortex neurons show brain leverages 'wisdom of the crowd' to process sensory information. The brain's cerebral cortex produces ...

Researchers challenge the "efficiency" theory of the brain, showing that neurons become more coordinated and share more ...

Neural tracking shows learning increases shared signaling among sensory neurons during decisions, helping combine sensory ...

Whether we’re staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...
