A new study reveals how the brain rewires sensorimotor pathways to preserve walking stability during visual impairment.

The superior colliculus is a midbrain region that is traditionally thought to help animals orient themselves toward important locations in space, like directing their eyes and head toward a bright ...

When compared with fixation, both smooth pursuit (upper left) and saccadic (lower left) eye movements showed similar patterns of brain activation (red) and deactivation (blue). In contrast, a direct ...

Why do our mental images stay sharp even when we are moving fast? A team of neuroscientists led by Professor Maximilian Jösch at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) has identified a ...

The authors suggest that these results highlight the sophisticated connection between vision and language in the human brain. The authors add, "Our findings reveal that the brain's ability to store ...

In my recent post "Of Spider-Man Movies and Other 3D Thrillers," I shared a question-and-answer exchange with Dr. Barry Sandrew, founder and CTO/CCO of Legend3D, a leading innovator in 2D-to-3D ...

Vision loss has long been treated as a one-way street, a devastating endpoint rather than a problem the brain might quietly work to solve. A wave of research is now overturning that assumption, ...

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, ...

Science fiction has long imagined a world where our brains interact with machines to restore and augment our abilities - ...
