The human visual system excels in interpreting complex visual scenes, with symmetry perception playing a pivotal role in organising sensory input into coherent representations. Visual symmetry ...

A popular theory in neuroscience called predictive coding proposes that the brain produces all the time expectations that are compared with incoming information. Errors arising from differences ...

Researchers have defined a crucial window of time that mice need to key in on visual events. Researchers at the National Eye Institute (NEI) have defined a crucial window of time that mice need to key ...

Imagine hammering a nail into a wall: Your dominant hand swings the hammer while the other holds the nail steady. In a new theory, Cornell psychology scholars propose that everyday tasks like this are ...

Sounds can alter the way the brain interprets what it sees. This is the key finding of a new study by SISSA researchers in Trieste, published in PLOS Computational Biology. The research shows that, ...

Neuroscientists at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) together with colleagues at the Freiburg University show that this is not strictly the case. Instead, they show that prediction errors can ...
