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 ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece is part of a series dedicated to the eye and improvements in restoring vision. In 1999, I defined ...

A study carried out by the University of Barcelona and the University of Rochester reveals data on how the visual system can process detailed information about the environment in complex and dynamic ...

Neuroscientists have revealed the precise connections between sensory neurons inside the retina and the superior colliculus, a structure in the midbrain. Neuropixels probes are a relatively recent ...

Every day, various types of sensory information fromthe external environment are transferred to the brainthrough different modalities and then processed to generate a series of coping behaviors. Among ...

How optical illusions work has been long-debated among scientists and philosophers, who wonder whether these illusions stem from neural processing in the eye or involve higher-level cognitive ...

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 ...

Your brain isn’t just looking – it’s predicting. Here’s why that means you can stare straight at something and still not see ...
