You might say it’s just a pigment of your imagination ...

Physicists and vision scientists are lining up behind a provocative claim: the rich color we call purple is not a property of light at all, but a story the brain tells itself. Light in the real world ...

Using an experimental technique called "Oz," researchers stimulated the human retina such that people saw a brand-new color. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

After decades of brain research, scientists still aren't sure whether most people see the same way, more or less -- especially with colors. Is what I call red also red for you? Or could my red be your ...

Princeton researchers found that the brain excels at learning because it reuses modular “cognitive blocks” across many tasks. Monkeys switching between visual categorization challenges revealed that ...

As artificial intelligence and smart devices continue to evolve, machine vision is taking an increasingly pivotal role as a key enabler of modern technologies. Unfortunately, despite much progress, ...

The brains of humans and other mammals contain a vast array of neuronal and non-neuronal cell types. The human capacity to process information into complex emotions, behaviours and decisions relies on ...

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...

Swiss researchers have recently completed their project to digitize the first “Mouse Brain Atlas”! This remarkable ...
