A scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled.
How does the brain see the "big picture"? A new study reveals that the primary visual cortex (V1) calculates statistical ...
Open the Youtube video Neuroscientists have successfully reconstructed moving images directly from the brain activity of mice ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
