A team at Los Alamos National Laboratory has completed a mathematical framework for human color perception that Nobel Prize-winning physicist Erwin Schrodinger first sketched more than a century ago.

Many cultures explore the idea of a figurative third eye that enhances perception. For autonomous vehicles, the concept is ...

People and computers perceive the world differently, which can lead AI to make mistakes no human would. Researchers are working on how to bring human and AI vision into alignment.

Specific rhythms of flickering light can synchronise brain activity, offering clues about perception and possible future ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new dual-arm mobile medicine robot that operates nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs for upper respiratory tract sampling. This robotic system was designed to replace the ...

People with aphantasia have no mental imagery—and they’re offering brain scientists a window into consciousness ...

Understanding the biophysical basis of consciousness remains a substantial challenge for 21st-century science. This endeavor is becoming even more pressing in light of accelerating progress in ...

Geographic atrophy due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible blindness and affects more than 5 million persons worldwide. No therapies to restore vision in ...

Introduction Visual perception and visual-motor integration skills are key predictors of handwriting. Children with cerebral palsy often experience difficulties in these areas, which can negatively ...

New artificial intelligence-generated images that appear to be one thing, but something else entirely when rotated, are helping scientists test the human mind. The work by Johns Hopkins University ...

Summary: Researchers have developed AI-generated “visual anagrams” — images that transform into entirely new objects when rotated — to explore how the brain processes perception. Unlike traditional ...
