A growing body of peer-reviewed research suggests that developing serious birdwatching skills does more than sharpen the ability to tell a warbler from a wren. Studies published across neuroscience, ...

The trial-to-trial variability of neuronal responses and the correlated response variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size in a manner that depends on cortical layer, suggesting ...

Animals don't just see the world differently from one another, they experience time itself at dramatically different speeds.

A series of recent brain-imaging studies has begun to explain a central mystery of the psychedelic experience: why people on ...

In a recent study published in Communications Biology, researchers from Hong Kong, Singapore, and Germany used high-resolution brain imaging to show that psychedelics may redirect visual processing ...

Scientists have discovered that turtles possess advanced visual processing abilities once thought to be unique to mammals.

The perception of faces where none exist can be a window into how the brain makes sense of the world. This phenomenon, known as pareidolia, reveals the fundamental architecture of visual cognition: a ...

Psychedelics can quiet the brain’s visual input system, pushing it to replace missing details with vivid fragments from ...

The breakthrough builds on neuromorphic engineering, a field that designs hardware modeled after the human brain. Unlike traditional processors, which separate memory and computation, neuromorphic ...

Although humans' visual perception of the world appears complete, our eyes contain a visual blind spot where the optic nerve ...

New research shows how psychedelics alter visual processing and boost memory-linked brain circuits to generate hallucinations, revealing mechanisms with therapeutic implications.

New motion-detection hardware lets autonomous vehicles react faster than the human brain, cutting braking distance by over 13 ...
