Researchers at University of Tsukuba have applied a visualization technique to depict the brain's activity related to visual perception as geometric patterns. They visualized different shapes, such as ...

When animals move through complex visual environments, the brain cannot afford to analyze every detail one by one. Instead, it rapidly extracts the overall structure of the scene—for example, the mean ...

Mouse brain activity was used to recreate 10-second videos, offering a new way to study how vision is represented in the ...

My last article focused, oddly enough…on focus—namely, how to help gifted students who are easily distracted by outside stimuli. Those of you with easily distracted students or children of your own ...

New Baycrest research reveals that the brain remembers what we see and what we hear in different ways. Visual memories tend ...

Accessing the brain for neurosurgery involves drilling and cutting that can cause deep-brain anatomy to shift or become distorted. This can create discrepancies between pre-operative imaging and the ...

Tsukuba, Japan—In our routines from waking up to commute, work, and leisure, neurons are active and processing complex matters. This research aimed to comprehend the complexities of the brain by ...

This study shows that mouse V1 simultaneously encodes the ensemble mean and variance of motion, providing a robust summary‐statistic representation that persists despite single-neuron variability.
