The human eye hides a surprising secret: a blind spot at the back of the eye. Scientists wonder if this imperfection could ...

The breakthrough builds on neuromorphic engineering, a field that designs hardware modeled after the human brain. Unlike traditional processors, which separate memory and computation, neuromorphic ...

Although humans' visual perception of the world appears complete, our eyes contain a visual blind spot where the optic nerve ...

New research shows how psychedelics alter visual processing and boost memory-linked brain circuits to generate hallucinations, revealing mechanisms with therapeutic implications.

Robots and self-driving cars could soon benefit from a new kind of brain-inspired hardware that can allegedly detect movement and react faster than a human. A new study published in the journal Nature ...

New motion-detection hardware lets autonomous vehicles react faster than the human brain, cutting braking distance by over 13 ...

The human brain works in interesting ways - you probably didn't know that your body is paralysed when you sleep or that we are motion blind for hours every day ...

A single clear image can rewire the visual brain, making later recognition faster without relying on memory systems.

Our world is a rich tapestry of sensory information, constantly bombarding our nervous system with a vast array of stimuli.

That sharp flinch during a violent movie scene is familiar to many people. A hand slams, a body falls, and your own muscles ...

In a safety and feasibility trial of a cortical visual prosthesis, researchers observed progressive recovery of natural vision in a patient with complete blindness caused by irreversible optic nerve ...

Your surroundings may influence your social behavior more than you realize. New research from the Brain Research Institute at ...
