HBP researchers have trained a large-scale model of the primary visual cortex of the mouse to solve visual tasks in a highly robust way. The model provides the basis for a new generation of neural ...

Researchers discover a new visual pathway that bypasses the primary visual cortex in mice, a structure previously considered essential to all visual processing. The newly discovered pathway (red).

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 ...

Patients with autism may have altered visual processing, which could serve as an objective, nonverbal neural marker of the disorder, new research suggests. Using electroencephalography (EEG), ...

How optical illusions work has been long-debated among scientists and philosophers, who wonder whether these illusions stem from neural processing in the eye or involve higher-level cognitive ...

"Simultaneous contrast illusions" rely on altering the backgrounds of images to change how we perceive the colors and brightness of objects within them. Now, a computer model may have revealed exactly ...

First study combining multiple new methods to understand visual processing and brain activity in dyslexia could improve understanding of which brain processes are affected by the condition, and ...

Microsoft Corp. today expanded its Phi line of open-source language models with two new algorithms optimized for multimodal processing and hardware efficiency. The first addition is the text-only ...

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 ...
