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

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

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

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

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

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 illusion has a backstage crew. New research shows the brain’s own “puppet strings”—special neurons that quietly tug our perception—help us see edges and shapes that don’t actually exist. When ...

In a massive scientific effort, hundreds of researchers have helped to map the connections between hundreds of thousands of neurons in the mouse brain and then overlayed their firing patterns in ...

When you get better at a skill-recognizing a familiar face in a crowd, spotting a typo at a glance, or anticipating the next move in a game-sensory neurons in your brain become more coordinated, ...

Diagram of the ventral fronto-temporal network operations necessary for visual object memory. During perception (left), neurons in the anterior ventral temporal cortex (aVTC) are primarily activated ...
