The brain’s hemispheres are specialized for efficiency. Modern neuroscience shows lateralization enhances function without ...

Researchers outline a roadmap for applying transcranial focused ultrasound, a noninvasive technique for stimulating the brain ...

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 ...

To complete tasks that require storing relevant visual details for short periods of time, such as solving a puzzle, reading or comparing different objects, humans leverage their so-called visual ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development of computational models inspired by the brain's layered organization, also ...

Human visual perception is inherently subjective, influenced by the brain's interpretation of retinal signals based on prior experience ("unconscious inference"), leading to illusions rather than a ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Replicating human visual perception in machines has been an ongoing challenge for engineers and researchers. While computers today can recognize images or analyze video footage, ...

Optical illusions are more than visual tricks — they expose how the human brain interprets reality. In certain cases, the ...

Bilal Haider receives funding from NIH and the Simons Foundation. Despite the nursery rhyme about three blind mice, mouse eyesight is surprisingly sensitive. Studying how mice see has helped ...
