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

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

Our survival depends upon our ability to observe the world around us accurately and reliably. Disturbances in visual perception occur in a range of psychiatric and neurodevelopmental diseases, ...

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 ...

First detailed mapping and modeling of thalamus inputs onto visual cortex neurons show brain leverages 'wisdom of the crowd' to process sensory information. The brain's cerebral cortex produces ...

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 ...

A new study challenges a long-standing theory in neuroscience and could reshape how scientists think about perception, learning disorders, and ...

The researchers detected a specific delay of about 18 milliseconds between the waves in the visual cortex and the ...

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, ...
