Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development of computational models inspired by the brain's layered organization, also ...

A research team has uncovered a fundamental principle of how the brain prioritizes vision and hearing differently depending on whether we are still or in motion. The study provides new insights into ...

Whether we're staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...

Researchers at Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders (NERF), led by Prof. Vincent Bonin, have published two new studies uncovering how visual information is processed and distributed in the brain. The ...

Imagine a ball bouncing down a flight of stairs. Now think about a cascade of water flowing down those same stairs. The ball and the water behave very differently, and it turns out that your brain has ...

Imagine arriving at a busy location with people moving around and a multitude of visual and other sensory cues vying for your attention. How does the brain integrate such floods of sensory information ...

From duck-rabbit illusions to hidden object hunts, visual puzzles do more than entertain—they reveal how our minds work. These brainteasers tap into perception, reasoning, and that satisfying ‘aha!’ ...

Vision scientists received two federal grants totaling nearly $4 million from the National Eye Institute to support groundbreaking research aimed at better understanding the myopia epidemic and the ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...

(A) Mice are trained to respond to external audiovisual cues by making decisions to receive a water reward while avoiding a mild air puff. When both auditory and visual stimuli are presented together, ...
