A scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled.
Researchers have settled a 60-year-old debate in neuroscience, proving that the visual cortex constructs complex images from ...
How does the brain perceive time? A new fMRI study identifies a three-stage neural relay from the visual cortex to the frontal regions that constructs our subjective experience of duration and timing.
A scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled.
How does Jannik Sinner manage to hit the ball at exactly the right moment, with remarkable precision? And how do we, in ...
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 study shows the primary visual cortex encodes both mean motion, and variability in complex scenes, revealing early-stage ...
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 ...
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 ...
