Researchers have settled a 60-year-old debate in neuroscience, proving that the visual cortex constructs complex images from ...
In the brain, visual information is processed step by step along a hierarchy of regions. The primary visual cortex (V1) is the first cortical stage that receives visual input from the eyes and is ...

Your brain uses the same neurons to see the real world and imagine it in your head
Close your eyes and picture a coffee cup. Suddenly, the dark fills with shape, color, and texture. It’s a picture as vivid as ...
A new study reveals the brain doesn’t rely on a single clock but builds our sense of time through multiple stages across ...

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 ...
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 ...
Researchers at Georgia Tech are using math, science, and artificial intelligence to better understand how people think, move, ...
A new review proposes that categorization is a predictive brain function that prepares action before perception. Drawing on ...
