For the first time, neuroscientists have established a link between shifts in our visual perception and the cadence of our steps while walking. The research, published in Nature Communications, shows ...

Glass patterns have long served as a paradigmatic tool for unravelling the mechanisms underlying visual form perception and the integration of motion cues. These intricate stimuli, composed of ...

New artificial intelligence-generated images that appear to be one thing, but something else entirely when rotated, are helping scientists test the human mind. The work by Johns Hopkins University ...

In a massive scientific effort, hundreds of researchers have helped to map the connections between hundreds of thousands of neurons in the mouse brain and then overlayed their firing patterns in ...

Sounds can alter the way the brain interprets what it sees. This is the key finding of a new study by SISSA researchers in Trieste, published in PLOS Computational Biology. The research shows that, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Discover why hills look steeper than they are and how eye height and gaze angle shape everyday visual perception. (CREDIT: Getty ...

Scientists have found our visual perception dips as our feet hit the ground. Further understanding this could help develop early diagnostics for neuromuscular or psychiatric illness; understand ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT) have led to the rapid expansion of sensory nodes, which can produce an enormous volume of raw analog data that is converted into digital ...

Jessica Taubert receives funding from The Australian Research Council. When you look at clouds, tree bark, or the front of a car, do you sometimes see a face staring back at you? That’s “face ...

A growing body of neuroimaging research is pinpointing exactly how psychedelic drugs hijack the brain’s visual system to ...

How people evaluate odors does not depend entirely on the odorant itself—context influences perception. A research team from the Leibniz Research Center for Working Environment and Human Factors ...
