Sounds can alter the way the brain interprets what it sees. This is the key finding of a new study by SISSA researchers in Trieste, published in PLOS Computational Biology. The research shows that, ...

Robots hardly crash they crash because they lack context. The framing in the background is behind Lyte AI Inc., which is a ...

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 ...

Neuroscientists have artificially increased neuronal activity in part of the brain by briefly shining light on genetically modified neurons. They saw that this manipulation selectively enhanced ...

By activating the visual cortex electrically, those modules generate simple spots or patterns of light that the brain can try ...

To interact successfully with objects, it is crucial to accurately perceive their spatial extent, an enclosed region they occupy in space. Although the topographic representation of space in the early ...

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 ...

Visual perception emerges from a cascade of neural transformations that begin with photoreceptors in the retina and proceed via the lateral geniculate nucleus to primary visual cortex (V1), thereafter ...

A research group led by Prof. Zhang Peng from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed how the human brain resolves perceptual conflicts and generates conscious ...

Bumblebees see the world differently under stress, processing visual information more sharply and making quicker decisions, ...
