The trial-to-trial variability of neuronal responses and the correlated response variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size in a manner that depends on cortical layer, suggesting ...

People with aphantasia have no mental imagery—and they’re offering brain scientists a window into consciousness ...

Forget superpowers, your brain may already have one. Studies show people can train echolocation and detect objects using nothing but reflected sound.

Prolonged near work in low luminance may accelerate myopia primarily by limiting retinal illumination through sustained accommodative miosis rather than by electronic screens per se.

Neuroscientists studying the eye’s blind spot have found that brain cells in the primary visual cortex, or V1, fire even when ...

Microstimuation, training, and the participant’s motivation, may have played a relevant role in the partial recovery of natural vision. The BaLM test was repeated once a month throughout the entire ...

We think we understand minimalism for what it really is, but our habits say otherwise. This test reveals your hidden patterns ...

This study uses a Bayesian framework to characterize latent brain state dynamics associated with memory encoding and performance in children, as measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging.

TL;DR• Turtles can detect unexpected visual changes regardless of viewing angle. • This ability was previously thought to exist only in mammalian ...

Think about your breakfast this morning. Can you imagine the pattern on your coffee mug? The sheen of the jam on your half-eaten toast? Most of us can call up such pictures in our minds. We can ...

Understanding how the brain processes what we see is one of the central questions in neuroscience. Our visual system is incredibly powerful, able to ...
