New research examined color vision in athletes and non-athletes. Findings show outdoor athletes have better peripheral color ...

People with aphantasia have no mental imagery—and they’re offering brain scientists a window into consciousness ...

Researchers use compressed AI models to discover "dot-detecting" neurons in the macaque visual cortex, offering a new path for Alzheimer’s therapy.

What does it take to make AI that can pass as human? Try massive clusters of supercomputers. To build human-like intelligence, computer scientists ...

Anesthetizing the retina of a “lazy” eye for just two days can restore vision in mice.

The trial-to-trial variability of neuronal responses and the correlated response variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size in a manner that depends on cortical layer, suggesting ...

The study provides new insights into the functions of ancestral cortices but also raises fundamental questions about how and when key neural computations evolved in turtles. Scientists studying the ...

We see not just with our eyes, but with our brains. A mosaic of specialized areas in a brain region known as the visual cortex interprets different sights, helping us identify everything from solid ...

New research published in BMC Psychology suggests that the structural wiring of the brain may play a significant role in how people solve problems through sudden insight. The study indicates that ...

The breakthrough builds on neuromorphic engineering, a field that designs hardware modeled after the human brain. Unlike traditional processors, which separate memory and computation, neuromorphic ...

New research shows how psychedelics alter visual processing and boost memory-linked brain circuits to generate hallucinations, revealing mechanisms with therapeutic implications.

A specific pattern of brain activity in a frontal brain region is linked to compulsive behaviors like excessive hand washing, chronic hair-pulling ...
