NYU Langone neuroscientists identified the brain region likely responsible for recognizing images after seeing them once, ...

Every time the human eye darts from one point to another, the retinal image smears across the visual field. These rapid jumps ...

The visual cortex is the part of the brain that enables visual perception. In this area millions of nerve cells, called neurons, process stimuli from the outside world. They only react when objects ...

People who lose their visual imagination after a stroke share damage to a single neural circuit. A new analysis maps these ...

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 ...

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

Researchers successfully reconstruct high-quality 10-second videos from mouse brain activity using single-cell recordings and a dynamic neural encoding model.

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 ...
