University of Tübingen researchers used fMRI to record brain activity while people viewed colored moving rings.

Researchers identified neurons in the mouse primary visual cortex that encode illusions that receive information from higher ...

Illusion circuits in the visual cortex were uncovered with two-photon holography, advancing perception and neurophysiology studies.

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 ...

A new study shows that our brain’s attention system first prepares broadly, then zooms in on specific details within ...

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 ...

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 ...

What gives rise to human consciousness? Are some parts of the brain more important than others? Scientists began tackling ...

Neurons' ability to change their behavior in response to new stimuli is what makes learning possible. And even neurons' ...

A team of engineers and neuroscientists has demonstrated for the first time that human brain organoids implanted in mice have established functional connectivity to the animals' cortex and responded ...
