Birdwatching turns out to be a particularly effective activity for engaging multiple mental processes at once. Identifying species requires observers to notice subtle differences in color, shape, ...

A growing body of neuroimaging research is pinpointing exactly how psychedelic drugs hijack the brain’s visual system to ...

Tripping on psychedelics is hard to describe to someone who’s never been through the experience. Every psychedelic trip is ...

The trial-to-trial variability of neuronal responses and the correlated response variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size in a manner that depends on cortical layer, suggesting ...

Animals don't just see the world differently from one another, they experience time itself at dramatically different speeds. That is according to a new study that considered 237 species across the ...

A neuroimaging study published in Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging has identified hyperactivity in the superior occipital ...

Scientists used a compact AI model to predict how visual cortex neurons respond to images, revealing hidden patterns in perception.

This study used pupillometry to provide an objective assessment of a form of synesthesia in which people see additional color when reading numbers. It provides convincing evidence that subjective ...

NYU Langone neuroscientists identified the brain region likely responsible for recognizing images after seeing them once, ...

A computer-vision system can detect movement in visual scenes faster than humans and up to four times faster than existing approaches, according to research published in Nature Communications. This ...
