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 ...

Our survival depends upon our ability to observe the world around us accurately and reliably. Disturbances in visual perception occur in a range of psychiatric and neurodevelopmental diseases, ...

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 ...

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

Scientists have successfully reconstructed videos purely from the brain activity of mice, showing what the mice were seeing, in a new study led by University College London (UCL) researchers. The ...

First detailed mapping and modeling of thalamus inputs onto visual cortex neurons show brain leverages 'wisdom of the crowd' to process sensory information. The brain's cerebral cortex produces ...

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

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...
