A study examining the brain of a person with object agnosia, a defect in the inability to recognize objects, is providing a unique window into the sophisticated brain mechanisms critical for object ...

To investigate the relationship between perceptual awareness and brain activity, we measured both recognition performance and fMRI signal from object-related areas in human cortex while images were ...

Fig. 1. Design and fabrication of a multiphoton neuron tactile skin. (a) The design concept and spatial reconstruction workflow of the multiphotonic neuron haptic skin for simulating the tactile ...

The field of robotics has just taken a step forward with the development of an algorithm that will give artificial intelligence an increased ability for object recognition. This will help robots ...

If we've learned anything from post-apocalyptic movies it's that computers eventually become self-aware and try to eliminate humans. One engineer isn't interested in that development, but he has ...

To researchers’ surprise, deep learning vision algorithms often fail at classifying images because they mostly take cues from textures, not shapes. When you look at a photograph of a cat, chances are ...

What if you could teach a computer to recognize a zebra without ever showing it one? Imagine a world where object detection isn’t bound by the limits of endless training data or high-powered hardware.

We take our understanding of where we are for granted, until we lose it. When we get lost in nature or a new city, our eyes and brains kick into gear, seeking familiar objects that tell us where we ...

Josh Lowensohn joined CNET in 2006 and now covers Apple. Before that, Josh wrote about everything from new Web start-ups, to remote-controlled robots that watch your house. Prior to joining CNET, Josh ...
