Oscillations of activity observed in the brain could have a role in resetting the sensitivity of neurons after eye movements. Further results suggest these waves could also have a role in supporting ...

Scientists have discovered specialized IC-encoder neurons that make the brain “see” illusions, such as squares or triangles that aren’t truly there.

Individual differences in the structure of parietal and prefrontal cortex predict the stability of bistable visual perception. However, the mechanisms linking such individual differences in brain ...

Imagine that you are watching a crowded hang-gliding competition, keeping track of a red and orange glider's skillful movements. Our brain uses separate circuits to achieve such outstanding tracking ...

Researchers identified neurons in the mouse primary visual cortex that encode illusions that receive information from higher ...

Neuroscientists are zeroing in on how special kinds of brain cells help us see things that aren't actually there.

Visuocortical activity in humans reveals that the spatial focus of covert attention flexibly shifts and expands in accordance with task demands.

Patterns of brain activity that help shape the way we perceive the world/ reality have been identified by a study presented at Neuroscience 2021, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience.

For a translator to turn one language (say, English) into another (say, Greek), she has to be able to understand both languages and what common meanings they point to, because English is not very ...

How people evaluate odors does not depend entirely on the odorant itself—context influences perception. A research team from the Leibniz Research Center for Working Environment and Human Factors ...
