A wireless intracortical architecture targets total blindness by circumventing nonfunctional retinas and optic nerves, ...

Researchers identify key rules for how visual cortex neurons organize thousands of synaptic inputs based on distance and clustering.

To what extent has Earth’s gravity shaped our cognitive and brain functions? Utilizing spaceflight and a ground-based analog, a new study shows that the human brain relies on bodily gravitational ...

A team of engineers and neuroscientists has demonstrated for the first time that human brain organoids implanted in mice have established functional connectivity to the animals' cortex and responded ...

Audio cues can not only help us to recognize objects more quickly but can even alter our visual perception. That is, pair birdsong with a bird and we see a bird -- but replace that birdsong with a ...

For the first time, neuroscientists have established a link between shifts in our visual perception and the cadence of our steps while walking. The research, published in Nature Communications, shows ...

How consciousness emerges in the brain is the ultimate mystery. Scientists generally agree that consciousness relies on multiple brain regions working in tandem. But the areas and neural connections ...

Brain’s fill-in tricks: Special neurons in the visual cortex help complete missing or ambiguous patterns, creating illusions that feel real. Mindset and perception: What you see first in an illusion ...
