Our brains work harder to process information when we read about movement in a way that is not typical of our native languages. Read More
When it comes to processing information about motion, neurons in the ventral intraparietal area of the brain are more flexible in switching between reference frames. The findings could be used to develop neural prosthetics designed for motion control. Read More
The human brain can desensitize background motion and focus on smaller moving objects in the foreground as a result of activity in the middle temporal visual area. However, our ability to pick out smaller objects changes over time. Younger people are better at picking out foreground objects moving, while those over 65 have heightened awareness of objects moving in the background. Read More
Researchers reveal what optical illusions tell us about the workings of the brain. Read More
Neuroimaging helps researchers observe what happens in the brain as a person is rotated. The study, which gives insight into how the brain moves after the head stops moving, also provides critical information for advancing studies of TBI. Read More
Researchers argue consciousness may be caused by the way the brain generates energetic feedback loops. Read More
A new study describes the activity of retinal neurons as they deliver visual information to the thalamus, an area of the brain implicated in image processing. Read More
A new study measures individual differences in perceptual capacity. Findings suggest people have a consistent level of performance across different measures of perception. Read More
Researchers are conducting a series of experiments to explore whether robots can acquire knowledge in a manner similar to human learning. Read More
A new study reveals how neurons implicated in the perception of motion are formed in the brains of fruit flies. Read More
An fMRI study conducted by University of Glasgow researchers reveals how our brains can predict what our eyes will see next. Read More
A new study reveals how specialized cells in the retina sense motion. Read More
