How does the brain see the "big picture"? A new study reveals that the primary visual cortex (V1) calculates statistical ...

A scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled.

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

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 scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled. Researchers at TUM have succeeded in observing the visual information flow ...

A study shows the primary visual cortex encodes both mean motion, and variability in complex scenes, revealing early-stage ...

Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds, behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published Nov. 25 in Neuron, finds in mice that via specific circuits, ...
