A patient with complete blindness caused by irreversible optic nerve damage partially recovered natural vision after ...

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, ...

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 ...

Most of us perceive our world in designated brain areas for each sensory modality. Thanks to its unique plasticity, the visual areas of a blind person’s brain are prime real estate ready for ...

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 ...

Researchers from Meta Platforms Inc.’s artificial intelligence research unit today announced a couple of key developments around adaptive skill coordination and visual cortex replication that they say ...

Much as a pilot might practice maneuvers in a flight simulator, scientists might soon be able to perform experiments on a realistic simulation of the mouse brain. In a new study, Stanford Medicine ...

Over the following months, the patient followed a daily visual training routine of at least 30 minutes, including standardized exercises of increasing complexity to assess light perception, spatial ...
