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 ...

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

Using high-field functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and measuring time perception in healthy volunteers, the researchers shed light on what happens in the brain when we estimate the duration ...

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

“Illusions are fun, but they are also a gateway to perception,” says Hyeyoung Shin, assistant professor of neuroscience at Seoul National University. Shin is the first author of a new study in Nature ...

When animals move through complex visual environments, the brain cannot afford to analyze every detail one by one. Instead, ...

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 ...

How does Jannik Sinner manage to hit the ball at exactly the right moment, with remarkable precision? And how do we, in everyday life, perceive the ...

To what extent has Earth’s gravity shaped our cognitive and brain functions? Utilizing spaceflight and a ground-based analog, a new study shows that the human brain relies on bodily gravitational ...
