A new computer model developed at the University of Liverpool can combine sight and sound in a way that closely resembles how humans do it. This model is inspired by biology and could be useful for ...

Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) technique that brings machine vision closer to how the human brain processes images. Called Lp-Convolution, this method improves the ...

New ultra–high-field brain scans reveal hidden body maps inside the visual system, showing how the brain weaves sight and touch together to build a unified sense of perception. Study: Vicarious body ...

Neuroscientists have observed for the first time how structures deep in the brain are activated when the brain becomes aware of its own thoughts, known as conscious perception. The brain is constantly ...

The hippocampus is one of the most fascinating brain regions. Associated with the formation of memories, it also helps us to navigate through the world without getting lost. Sensory cortices on the ...

How does the brain categorize objects? Scientists reveal that categorization is a predictive process where the brain prepares an action plan before perceiving a stimulus.

Derived from human pluripotent stem cells, the 3D models allow scientists to study unique properties of the human brain. Researchers use cortical organoids to answer fundamental questions such as how ...

The Multisensory Correlation Detector (MCD) population model consists of elementary computational units (left), each of which responds to audiovisual transients (that is, changes in the input) that ...
