The brain has an astonishing capacity to detect patterns in the world. So much so, that it will often create patterns where none exist. Pareidolia is the tendency to see familiar shapes in random ...

Experimental design (a) and results for the space experiment (b) and the ground-based control experiments (c & d). BMIE: the normalized BM inversion effect; BMUpr & BMInv: task performances for the ...

Making machine perception reliable enough for real deployment requires more than better AI; it requires properly calibrated ...

Chinese robotics firm LimX Dynamics has launched a full-size humanoid robot designed to accelerate ...

The same group of neurons encode both actual motion and movement perceived in an optical illusion, according to a study on macaques. A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant food ...

To what extent has Earth's gravity shaped our cognitive and brain functions? Utilizing spaceflight and a ground-based analog, a new study shows that the human brain relies on bodily gravitational ...
