When we watch someone move, get injured, or express emotion, our brain doesn’t just see it—it partially feels it. Researchers ...

Vision loss has long been treated as a one-way street, a devastating endpoint rather than a problem the brain might quietly ...

New research reveals people with visual snow syndrome experience heightened face pareidolia, mistaking everyday objects for ...

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 ...

Advances in technology have greatly accelerated scientific understanding of vision and the brain. Researchers can now ...

Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have become the first to fully characterize cell activity from a little relay station in the center of the human brain. This aids our ...

Visual auras, like those that occur in migraines, may be signs of small injuries to the brain’s visual cortex, according to a clinical trial at UC San Francisco that tracked the appearance of these ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...
