Why are we able to see moving objects against moving backgrounds?

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.

Smart glasses follow our eyes and focus automatically

A newly designed set of 'smart glasses' could help to correct the vision of millions of people with age-related presbyopia. The autofocals work much like the eyes and include eye tracking sensors which enable to triangulate where a person is looking and determine the precise distance of the object.

Does your health in middle age predict how healthy you’ll be later in life?

Vascular and inflammatory problems during middle age, as well as some minor injuries, could be a biomarker for poor brain health in older age. However, brain aging may be delayed by maintaining a healthy diet, weight and level of physical activity as we age.

Developing a headset to transfer visual perceptions from the sighted to the blind

Researchers are developing a new brain-to-brain communication headset that will allow the transfer of visual information from those with sight to the blind. The non-invasive system will 'write' information to neurons reprogrammed to fire in response to magnetic signals.

Artificial neural networks can be used to drive brain activity

Current deep learning models are able to create images strongly enough to activate specific neurons in the visual cortex. However, researchers say more accurate artificial neural network models should be developed to help produce more accurate control.

New study reshapes understanding of how the brain recovers from injury

Retinal ganglion cell survival following a stroke depends on whether the pathway to the primary visual area remains active. Cells connected to inactive areas of the visual cortex suffer atrophy and degenerate, leading to permanent visual impairment.
