A new study questions the longstanding view that the visual system is divided into two pathways, one for object-recognition and the other for spatial tasks. Using computational vision models, ...

The integration of spatial coding with dynamic gaze shifts constitutes a fundamental aspect of visual perception and subsequent motor actions. Research in this field elucidates how the brain ...

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 ...

You probably have a general understanding of the human brain: a network of nerve cells connected by synapses. Complex or abstract ideas emerge as a result of the firing of many of these nerve cells, ...

Our thoughts are specified by our knowledge and plans, yet our cognition can also be fast and flexible in handling new information. How does the well-controlled and yet highly nimble nature of ...

Think about the last time you walked down a crowded street, biked along a rocky hiking trail, or swum in a lake. You probably didn't have to stop and think about how you were going to navigate those ...

Blindness affects millions of people worldwide and severely limits their independence, daily functioning, and overall quality of life. In Spain, the prevalence of blindness is estimated at 0.17% , ...

The parts of the brain that are needed to remember words, and how these are affected by a common form of epilepsy, have been identified by a team of neurologists and neurosurgeons at UCL. The parts of ...

The digital maps and navigation systems we use today, including street names, signs and visual cues, were designed for people. Now at the cusp of a new era in robotics, we need a new kind of map that ...
