A closed-loop cortical implant generates functional percepts of shape, motion, and letters in two individuals with acquired ...

Researchers at Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders (NERF), led by Prof. Vincent Bonin, have published two new studies uncovering how visual information is processed and distributed in the brain. The ...

Blindsight describes the phenomenon whereby individuals with damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) retain certain visually guided behaviours despite an absence of conscious visual perception. In ...

Research reveals why some images feel pleasing while others uncomfortable. The brain prefers visuals that cost less energy.

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 ...

A new study in Neuron reveals that the brain’s executive center sends highly specialized, context-dependent instructions to ...

Ultra-high-field brain scans reveal integrated maps of vision and touch, highlighting the brain's role in embodied perception ...

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 ...

Yale researchers have discovered a process in the primate brain that sheds new light on how visual systems work and could lead to advances in both human neuroscience and artificial intelligence.

Blood vessels in the macaque brain are densest in energy-intensive regions such as the visual cortex Figure 1: A high-resolution image showing the distribution of ...

At first, a viral waiting room video looks completely normal. But if you watch closely, you’ll notice the rug disappears, the pillows change, and even ceiling panels vanish. This clever trick is ...
