A recent study published in Nature Neuroscience reports that retinotopic coding may determine how information from the retina is processed in the brain cortex. How does sensory signaling interact with ...

Recent research suggests that repeated "replays" of episodic memories—i.e., memories of personal episodes from our past—can help improve our ability to visually distinguish between scenes, faces, and ...

The study of event perception and memory in everyday activities addresses how individuals transform the continuous stream of daily experience into compact, meaningful units. This process, often ...

Memory and perception seem like entirely distinct experiences, and neuroscientists used to be confident that the brain produced them differently, too. But in the 1990s, neuroimaging studies revealed ...

Scientists have long searched in vain for a class of brain cells that could explain the visceral flash of recognition that we feel when we see a very familiar face, like that of our grandmothers. But ...

A collaboration between SISSA’s Physics and Neuroscience groups has taken a step forward in understanding how memories are stored and retrieved in the brain. The study, recently published in Neuron, ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT) have led to the rapid expansion of sensory nodes, which can produce an enormous volume of raw analog data that is converted into digital ...

In Plato's allegory of the cave, a person stands inside a cavern with a fire at their back, watching the shadows formed by the fire on the wall. The person believes the shadows are their reality, not ...
