The tiny visual systems of flying insects have inspired researchers of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) to develop optoelectronic graded neurons for perceiving dynamic motion, enriching ...

In 350 BC, Aristotle reported seeing illusory movement after staring at a constantly moving stimulus. Later coined the "waterfall illusion," scientists are still investigating the properties of motion ...

Experimental design (a) and results for the space experiment (b) and the ground-based control experiments (c & d). BMIE: the normalized BM inversion effect; BMUpr & BMInv: task performances for the ...

Neuronal responses in cortical area MT to two speeds show a robust bias toward the faster speed when stimulus speeds are slow, which could benefit figure-ground segregation in natural scenes.

Challenge your brain with this viral motion optical illusion that tests binocular vision and observation skills.

To what extent has Earth's gravity shaped our cognitive and brain functions? Utilizing spaceflight and a ground-based analog, a new study shows that the human brain relies on bodily gravitational ...
