Mountain Splendor? Researchers Know Where Your Eyes Will Look
Combining neuroimaging data with deep convolutional neural networks, researchers were able to predict where people would direct their attention and gaze at images of natural scenes.... Read More...
Neural Code that Predicts Behavior Identified
Differences in activity between the left and right superior colliculi help researchers predict whether an animal was seeing an event. ... Read More...
Neurons Process Information Differently Depending on Their Location
The thickness of the brain's neocortex influences how individual neurons process information, a new study reveals.... Read More...
White Matter Pathway and Individual Variability in Human Stereoacuity
Researchers have identified a white matter pathway associated with steroacuity.... Read More...
Combining Technologies to View the Retina in Unprecedented Detail
Researchers say adaptive optics enables direct imaging of neural tissue, which could lead to earlier detection of diseases that affect eye tissue.... Read More...
Link Between What We See and How We Remember ‘Breaks’ As We Age
A new study reports older adults exhibit greater eye movements, but this does not correlate with an increase in brain activity patterns. Researchers say, while the eyes and brain are taking in environmental information, the link to creating memories of what is seen weakens over a life time.... Read More...
Mini Retinas Shed Light on Connection Between Eyes and Brain
Findings could help to develop new treatments to restore site when connections between the eyes and brain are damaged, researchers say.... Read More...
Surprising Network Activity in the Immature Brain
Spontaneously generated patterns of activity by local neural networks in the developing visual cortex provide the basis for long range connections that are established throughout brain activity over the course of cortical development, researchers report.... Read More...
To See What’s Right in Front of You, Your Brain May Need Some Rewiring
Researchers provide new evidence of brain plasticity. A new study reveals visual cortex neurons sprout new axons and shed some old ones as animals improve at perceptual learning tasks.... Read More...
Philosophy of the Mind: In Touch with Reality
According to a new study, we trust our fingertips over our eye when it comes to processing ambiguous information.... Read More...
Neurons Reliably Respond to Straight Lines
Researchers report single neurons in the primary visual cortex can reliably detect straight lines, even though the makeup of the cell is constantly changing.
