A new study shows that the brain's visual system adapts to your goals, reshaping perception based on what you're trying to do ...

A Columbia University's School of Engineering study in the US has shown that the brain's visual regions play an active rol ...

When you see a bag of carrots at the grocery store, does your mind go to potatoes and parsnips or buffalo wings and celery?

The human brain can learn through experience to filter out disturbing and distracting stimuli—such as a glaring roadside ...

A new study questions the longstanding view that the visual system is divided into two pathways, one for object-recognition and the other for spatial tasks. Using computational vision models, ...

A small team of brain researchers at South China Normal University, working with a colleague from the University of New South Wales, has found that the visual processing parts of the brain light ...

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 ...

A team of researchers at UCL and UCLH have identified the key brain regions that are essential for logical thinking and problem solving.

The research focused on the ventral temporal cortex (VTC), a brain region crucial for visual recognition of objects, faces, words, and places. Previous studies in adults have shown that these category ...

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 ...

Unlike previous AI models of the visual cortex, which could simulate ... The researchers plan to extend their modeling into other brain areas and to animals, including primates, with more advanced ...
