Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have become the first to fully characterize cell activity from a little relay station in the center of the human brain. This aids our ...

Why does stopping at a red light become automatic? New neuroscience shows how the cerebellum turns visual cues into fast, ...

The cerebellum facilitates associative learning—wherein visual information is linked to motor actions—by strengthening ...

Advances in technology have greatly accelerated scientific understanding of vision and the brain. Researchers can now routinely record the activity of thousands of neurons at the same time and pair ...

Using microelectrodes, scientists could show that cells in the retina play different roles. The produce different signals, which is important for the processing of visual information. These ...

Why do our mental images stay sharp even when we are moving fast? A team of neuroscientists has identified a mechanism that corrects visual distortions caused by movement in animals. The study, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Replicating human visual perception in machines has been an ongoing challenge for engineers and researchers. While computers today can recognize images or analyze video footage, ...

Glaucoma patients show slower visual response times, indicating impaired visual signal processing rather than motor or attention deficits. The study involved glaucoma patients and healthy controls, ...

Why do our mental images stay sharp even when we are moving fast? A team of neuroscientists led by Professor Maximilian Jösch at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) has identified a ...
