A new model reads brain signals to identify memory categories, which could help develop memory-restoring tools for cognitive ...

Machines have come a long way in seeing and understanding images, but they still don’t see quite like humans do. A new ...

The brain's visual system consists of a network of areas that work together, with lower areas handling simple details (e.g. small regions of space, colours, edges) and higher areas representing ...

How far, and for how long, a robot can navigate depends on how much power it consumes over time. Robot navigation systems are ...

Cells called astrocytes are about as abundant in the brain as neurons, but scientists have spent much less time figuring out ...

Imagine a ball bouncing down a flight of stairs. Now think about a cascade of water flowing down those same stairs.

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 ...

This lights up neurons in an area just outside of the hippocampus known as the parahippocampal cortex. As part of our brain’s visual system, the parahippocampal cortex helps us process what we see.
