Researchers at the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology find that the hippocampus sends signals to the visual cortex to predict what we are about to see. Our brains are powerful prediction machines ...

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 ...

Researchers from Meta Platforms Inc.’s artificial intelligence research unit today announced a couple of key developments around adaptive skill coordination and visual cortex replication that they say ...

A study in mice by a Harvard Medical School (HMS)-led research team has reported new insights into what is happening in the brain while we daydream. The study, through which the researchers tracked ...

Whether we’re staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...

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 ...
