Scientists used a compact AI model to predict how visual cortex neurons respond to images, revealing hidden patterns in perception.

An illusion is when we see and perceive an object that doesn't match the sensory input that reaches our eyes. In the case of the image below, the sensory input is four Pac Man–like black figures. But ...

A new University of Rochester study could reshape how scientists think about perception, learning disorders, and artificial ...

Researchers challenge the "efficiency" theory of the brain, showing that neurons become more coordinated and share more information as learning occurs.

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 ...

A multidisciplinary team of researchers at Georgia Tech has discovered how lateral inhibition helps our brains process visual information, and it could expand our knowledge of sensory perception, ...

In a massive scientific effort, hundreds of researchers have helped to map the connections between hundreds of thousands of neurons in the mouse brain and then overlayed their firing patterns in ...

For example, activity of neurons in the cerebral cortex may increase by 10-25% when a subject pays attention to the stimuli those neurons represent. Previous research has shown that LC activation, ...

Scientists have successfully reconstructed videos purely from the brain activity of mice, showing what the mice were seeing, ...
