The brain uses motion signals to predict the current position of an object, enabling us to respond promptly and accurately.

A new study led by biologists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, reveals how the primary visual cortex establishes its complex long-range neural networks during early brain development. The ...

In mammals, the perception of visual stimuli is supported by the coordinated activity of thousands of neurons in different brain regions. The images perceived by the eyes are represented in the brain, ...

Picture a strawberry. Most people can easily distinguish between that image in their mind’s eye and an actual strawberry. Now researchers say that they’ve worked out how the brain draws this ...

UCSB’s Michael Beyeler is using AI to improve visual cortical prostheses, or “bionic eyes.” Credit: Matt Perko, UC Santa Barbara Researchers have used artificial intelligence to improve how a brain ...

I llusions are everywhere. For example, the moon appears larger when it rests on the horizon than when it is hanging in the sky. Other visual tricks occur when a person perceives an object in an image ...

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 ...
