Maps have played an important role in scientific progress. Claudius Ptolemaeus transformed our understanding of the world with his map of Earth, and Tycho Brahe enhanced understanding of the universe ...

Different parts of the brain have been carefully mapped, so we have some idea of what parts of the brain are used to perceive our environment, move our bodies, or solve problems, for example. In ...

A computational study of cat primary visual cortex shows that motion direction and temporal frequency are encoded in subtle, ...

This map of the neural activity in the octopus visual system looks a lot like what's seen in the human brain—even though octopuses and humans last shared a common ancestor some 500 million years ago, ...

Just as cartographers have created manageable maps of our planet and enabled travel and development, our brain maps our diverse sensory inputs to our credit-card sized cerebral cortex to enable ...

Human visual cortex is organized into distinct visual field maps whose locations and properties provide important information about visual computations. There are two conflicting models of the ...

Scientists have been studying how visual space is mapped in the cerebral cortex for many decades under the assumption that the map is equal for lights and darks. Surprisingly, recent work demonstrates ...

FlyOver Technologies has released its second generation Visual Map technology which interprets maps and aerial imagery to produce a realistic 3D navigation map for in-vehicle navigation. These latest ...
