MIT scientists explore how the brain seamlessly processes visual information from both eyes without a perceptible seam, ...

Whether we're staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...

A single phototransistor mimics retinal bipolar cell function while detecting visible and infrared light, enabling low-power ...

This optical illusion challenges your brain and observation skills by asking you to spot a single odd tree among eight nearly ...

Imagine a ball bouncing down a flight of stairs. Now think about a cascade of water flowing down those same stairs. The ball and the water behave very differently, and it turns out that your brain has ...

Signals are processed only if they reach the brain during brief receptive cycles. This timing mechanism explains how attention filters information and may inform therapies and brain-inspired ...

Whether we're staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...

A new study shows that our brain’s attention system first prepares broadly, then zooms in on specific details within ...

Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain's visual system: one that's responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that's involved in ...

How sharp is your attention to detail? Solve this optical illusion to check how quickly and accurately your brain processes ...

Gene therapy partially restores visual processing in the geniculostriate pathway of patients with Leber congenital amaurosis type 2 while maintaining compensatory activity in the retinotectal pathway.
