Blindsight describes the phenomenon whereby individuals with damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) retain certain visually guided behaviours despite an absence of conscious visual perception. In ...

Our hands do more than just hold objects. They also facilitate the processing of visual stimuli. When you move your hands, your brain first perceives and interprets sensory information, then it ...

Using a blink-and-you'll-miss-it experiment, researchers from Trinity College Dublin have discovered that individuals differ widely in the rate at which they perceive visual signals. Some people ...

Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) don't see objects the way humans do -- using configural shape perception -- and that could be dangerous in real-world AI applications. The study employed ...

Jordan Hamm, an assistant professor of neuroscience at Georgia State University, has received a five-year, $1.93 million award from the National Eye Institute at the National Institutes of Health (NIH ...

If you’ve always wanted to learn piano, but thought you were too old to learn, think again. Not only can you pick up a new tune after a few lessons, but a new study showed that just an hour of piano ...

Made of silicon, these in-sensor visual processing arrays can both capture and process visual data in the analog domain, as opposed to conventional systems that often physically separate these ...

Using simulations, robots, and live fish, scientists at EPFL and Duke University have replicated the neural circuitry that ...

Students at the University of Maryland trained a tiny drone to fly safely through tight spaces by mimicking the visual ...
