A research group led by Prof. Zhang Peng from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed how ...

Ultra-high-field brain scans reveal integrated maps of vision and touch, highlighting the brain's role in embodied perception ...

Machine perception is the capability of a computer to take in and process sensory information in a way that’s similar to how humans perceive the world. It may rely on sensors that mimic common human ...

A team of scientists has identified areas of the brain that are activated when a person becomes aware of themself and their thoughts. This enigmatic process appears to be controlled by the thalamus, a ...

A recent study shows that different people have similar brain activity when perceiving social situations. Researchers discovered an extensive neural network in the human brain that effectively ...

Are we living in a flatland? Or perhaps, are we bound in a cube of perception with impermeable spatial walls of length, width, and height—like a mime stuck in an imaginary cube? Let's take it slowly ...

What makes a robot truly intelligent? Is it the ability to solve complex equations in milliseconds or something more human-like—such as recognizing a misplaced object in a cluttered room or adapting ...

A team of researchers has tested a state-of-the-art system called the AudioDome to push surround sound capabilities to the limit. The AudioDome faithfully re-creates a three-dimensional soundscape ...

Despite the broad recognition of mimicry among bumble bees, distinct North American mimicry rings have yet to be defined, due in part to the prevalence of intermediate and imperfect mimics in this ...
