Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of neuroscience and psychology studies. Most past studies focusing on the visual cortex ...

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 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 ...

Humans and many other animals can innately recognize familiar objects in their surroundings, irrespective of the angle they are observed from, changes in lighting or other shifts in the surrounding ...

Imagine arriving at a busy location with people moving around and a multitude of visual and other sensory cues vying for your ...

We see details in only a small portion of the world in front of us, one point at a time, guided by and processed in regions of the brain detected in new research described by Christian Kiefer and his ...

How the human brain organizes its visual memories through precise neural timing has been discovered. Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC; CA, USA) have made a significant ...

A research team has uncovered a fundamental principle of how the brain prioritizes vision and hearing differently depending on whether we are still or in motion. The study provides new insights into ...

When you see a bag of carrots at the grocery store, does your mind go to potatoes and parsnips or buffalo wings and celery? It depends, of course, on whether you're making a hearty winter stew or ...

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

I llusions are everywhere. For example, the moon appears larger when it rests on the horizon than when it is hanging in the sky. Other visual tricks occur when a person perceives an object in an image ...
