Professor Richard Fu has developed a new technology solution that will provide low-power systems for use in bionic eyes, working with academics from the Harbin…
Chemical’s release in brain tied to processing of imagery, cells’ activation. “Look at me!” we might say while attempting to engage our children. It turns…
Caffeine Improves Reaction to Moving Targets In the first study of its kind to explore caffeine’s effects on dynamic visual skills, researchers concluded that caffeine…
Just three minutes of exposure to deep red light once a week, when delivered in the morning, can significantly improve declining eyesight, finds a pioneering…
MIT researchers have found regions of the infant visual cortex that show strong preferences for either faces, bodies, or scenes, just as they do in…
A computer network closely modeled on part of the human brain is enabling new insights into the way our brains process moving images — and…
New shark-vision models show that many shark bites by great whites may be a case of mistaken identity, as surfing and swimming humans on the…
A new study finds that our brain cells rely on a circuit of inhibitory neurons to help ensure that the same images are represented consistently.…
