Researchers have settled a 60-year-old debate in neuroscience, proving that the visual cortex constructs complex images from ...

Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of neuroscience and psychology studies. Most past studies focusing on the visual cortex ...

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 ...

Close your eyes and picture a coffee cup. Suddenly, the dark fills with shape, color, and texture. It’s a picture as vivid as ...

Researchers at Georgia Tech are using math, science, and artificial intelligence to better understand how people think, move, ...

A new study reveals the brain doesn’t rely on a single clock but builds our sense of time through multiple stages across ...

The same brain cells activate when you see something and when you imagine it, helping explain why mental images can feel so ...

Every illusion has a backstage crew. New research shows the brain’s own “puppet strings”—special neurons that quietly tug our perception—help us see edges and shapes that don’t actually exist. When ...

A new review proposes that categorization is a predictive brain function that prepares action before perception. Drawing on ...

A small team of brain researchers at South China Normal University, working with a colleague from the University of New South Wales, has found that the visual processing parts of the brain light up in ...
