A tennis return can look almost automatic. The ball comes off the racket, crosses the court in a blur, and somehow a player ...

A study shows the primary visual cortex encodes both mean motion, and variability in complex scenes, revealing early-stage ...

This study shows that mouse V1 simultaneously encodes the ensemble mean and variance of motion, providing a robust summary‐statistic representation that persists despite single-neuron variability.

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...

Imagine yourself sometime in the far future aboard a routine rocket to Mars. Someone just spilled their drink. Without gravity, it collects in floating blobs that ripple right before your eyes. Now ...

A new study reveals the brain doesn’t rely on a single clock but builds our sense of time through multiple stages across ...

How does the brain create mental images? A new study reveals that visual imagination and perception share a common neural code.

Most optical illusions last for a few fleeting moments when you're staring at the book, screen, or whatever medium the ...
