Faced with images that break the expected pattern, like a do not enter sign where a stop sign is expected, how does the brain react and learn compared to being shown images which match what was ...

A new discovery of how bees use their flight movements to facilitate remarkably accurate learning and recognition of complex visual patterns could mark a major change in how next-generation AI is ...

This figure depicts how that same visual patterns that elicit a specific type of brainwave (gamma oscillation) in healthy visual cortex can also trigger seizures in patients with photosensitive ...

Individuals battling major depressive episodes were found to have abnormal visual processing, according to a Finnish study suggesting the altered perception involves changes in the cerebral cortex.

Clusters of tiny holes or bumps can spark strong aversion in people with trypophobia, a condition researchers link more to disgust and fear than real threat. Common textures, such as coral or seed ...
