MIT scientists explore how the brain seamlessly processes visual information from both eyes without a perceptible seam, ...

A single phototransistor mimics retinal bipolar cell function while detecting visible and infrared light, enabling low-power ...

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 ...

As an object moves across your field of view, the brain seamlessly hands off visual processing from one hemisphere to 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 ...

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 ...

How we focus our attention before we even see an object matters. For example, when we look for something moving in the sky, ...

Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain's visual system: one that's responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that's involved in ...

Many mammals physically pivot their ears to hone in on a particular sound, and now it seems that a similar action takes place ...

Gene therapy partially restores visual processing in the geniculostriate pathway of patients with Leber congenital amaurosis type 2 while maintaining compensatory activity in the retinotectal pathway.

How sharp is your attention to detail? Solve this optical illusion to check how quickly and accurately your brain processes ...

A new study has found that a psychedelic formulation inspired by ayahuasca can significantly alter how the brain processes faces—especially one’s own. The research shows that the compound changes both ...
