How does the brain see the "big picture"? A new study reveals that the primary visual cortex (V1) calculates statistical ...
When animals move through complex visual environments, the brain cannot afford to analyze every detail one by one. Instead, ...
Open the Youtube video Neuroscientists have successfully reconstructed moving images directly from the brain activity of mice ...
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 ...
Much as a pilot might practice maneuvers in a flight simulator, scientists might soon be able to perform experiments on a realistic simulation of the mouse brain. In a new study, Stanford Medicine ...
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 ...
Scientists hope results analysed after the mice watched video footage will help them understand their perceptions Scientists have reconstructed short movies from the brain activity of mice that ...
New ultra–high-field brain scans reveal hidden body maps inside the visual system, showing how the brain weaves sight and touch together to build a unified sense of perception. Study: Vicarious body ...
