Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development ...

Researchers have demonstrated the use of AI-selected natural images and AI-generated synthetic images as neuroscientific tools for probing the visual processing areas of the brain. The goal is to ...

Imagine a ball bouncing down a flight of stairs. Now think about a cascade of water flowing down those same stairs. The ball and the water behave very differently, and it turns out that your brain has ...

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 ...

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 ...

Visual brain areas involved in processing hands also encode information about the correct way to hold tools, according to new research published in JNeurosci. Each part of the brain’s visual system ...

Jennifer Hoy, an assistant professor in the Department of Biology, was recently granted a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant to pursue research on how visual stimuli are perceived. The ...
