Modality-agnostic decoders leverage modality-invariant representations in human subjects' brain activity to predict stimuli irrespective of their modality (image, text, mental imagery).

How does the brain perceive time? A new fMRI study identifies a three-stage neural relay from the visual cortex to the frontal regions that constructs our subjective experience of duration and timing.

A scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled.

Summary: In the 1960s, Nobel laureates Hubel and Wiesel proposed that visual perception is a “bottom-up” process, where the brain builds complex images from simple features like edges and lines. For ...

The visual cortex is the part of the brain that enables visual perception. In this area millions of nerve cells, called neurons, process stimuli from the outside world. They only react when objects ...

A team of researchers recently found that three parts of the brain are especially relevant to the experience of consciousness. After scanning the brains of subjects, the researchers identified reduced ...

These terms are now often conflated. In foundational reconstruction and decoding literature their separation has been strict for good reasons: the tasks differ in difficulty, failure modes, what can ...

A stripped-down artificial intelligence model has matched the image-by-image firing of monkey visual neurons after being compressed thousands of times from its original size. The result shows that ...

NYU Langone neuroscientists identified the brain region likely responsible for recognizing images after seeing them once, even if the visuals are blurred or distorted. The ability, also called ...
