Abstract: Perceptual edge grouping is a technique for organizing the cluttered edge pixels into meaningful structures and further serves high-level vision tasks, which has long been a basic and ...

When we watch someone move, get injured, or express emotion, our brain doesn’t just see it—it partially feels it. Researchers found eight body-like maps in the visual cortex that organize what we see ...

A new study in Neuron reveals that the brain’s executive center sends highly specialized, context-dependent instructions to the visual system rather than a generic broadcast signal. The findings ...

Driving north on Highway 1 in Marin County, past the timeworn oyster farms lining Tomales Bay, the idyllic scenery emerges as the road curves inland. The region’s gently rolling hills glow with ...
