Hands that see, eyes that feel? Brain study reveals the mathematics of identifying objects
Our brains need only perform a few fast statistical calculations to detect the key properties of an unknown object. Findings challenge existing views of how our brains extract and learn about our environment.... Read More...
“Number sense” arises from the recognition of visible objects
Results from a new artificial intelligence study indicate number sense is spontaneously created by the visual system, without prior experience of counting.... Read More...
Histamines Can Boost Long Term Memory of Objects
Researchers report histamines can help improve memory of objects up-to 25 days longer than normal in mice, as well as improving people's long term memory test scores. The study suggests taking histamines may help alleviate symptoms of memory disorders such as Alzheimer's and other dementias.... Read More...
Can AI Tell a Polar Bear From a Can Opener?
A new study from UCLA researchers demonstrates the limitations of some current deep learning algorithms. ... Read More...
Teaching Computers to See Optical Illusions
Researchers have created a deep learning algorithm that can be tricked by optical illusions, just like humans. The findings shed new light on the human visual system and may help improve artificial vision.... Read More...
Visual Intelligence Not the Same as IQ
A new study reveals differences in a person's visual ability to recognize objects is not associated with their general intelligence.... Read More...
Babies Can Use Context to Look For Things
At 6 months of age, babies are capable of memory guided attention, a new study reveals. Young infants are able to learn and remember contextual visual cues to find objects of interest, researchers report. The findings shed new light on both typical and atypical brain development.... Read More...
The Brain at Work: Spotting Half Hidden Objects
Researchers have identified how signals from the visual and prefrontal cortices may interact to help us recognize shapes that are not entirely visible.... Read More...
How the Brain Recognizes What the Eyes See
Researchers analyze V2 neurons to provide a better understanding pf how the brain processes what we see.... Read More...
Take A Look and You’ll See Into Your Imagination
Researchers have developed a neural network based AI system that can decode and predict what a person is seeing or imagining.... Read More...
Blind People Have Brain Map For ‘Visual’ Observations Too
Researchers discover those who were born blind use a brain map, similar to that in people with full vision, to distinguish between objects. ... Read More...
