Scientists used a compact AI model to predict how visual cortex neurons respond to images, revealing hidden patterns in perception.

A growing body of neuroimaging research is pinpointing exactly how psychedelic drugs hijack the brain’s visual system to produce vivid hallucinations, even when a person’s eyes are closed. Studies ...

Researchers use compressed AI models to discover "dot-detecting" neurons in the macaque visual cortex, offering a new path for Alzheimer’s therapy.

The researchers detected a specific delay of about 18 milliseconds between the waves in the visual cortex and the ...

Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of neuroscience and psychology studies. Most past studies focusing on the visual cortex ...

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, ...

Researchers have uncovered a surprisingly complex yet precisely ordered map of visual space in area V2 of the cortex. Challenging previously held beliefs, this novel organization redefines mapping of ...
