How does the brain see the "big picture"? A new study reveals that the primary visual cortex (V1) calculates statistical ...
When animals move through complex visual environments, the brain cannot afford to analyze every detail one by one. Instead, ...
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 ...
To do it, the researchers used two-photon calcium imaging, a microscopy method that infers neural activity by tracking ...
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 ...
Researchers use AI "digital twins" to discover a new type of neuron in the visual cortex that perceives complex textures and object arrangements.
Advanced perception and reasoning software enable safe humanoid navigation in real-world environments, says RealSense.
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 ...
