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 ...

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 ...

Beijing Normal University-led researchers have identified specific high-order thalamic nuclei that drive human conscious perception by activating the prefrontal cortex. Their findings enhance ...

A research group led by Associate Professor Yoshihiro Nakata from the Graduate School of Informatics and Engineering at the University of Electro-Communications, Japan, in collaboration with ...

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 ...

Using direct, intracranial brain recordings in humans, a new study finds that the thalamus, a small region located deep within the brain, plays a pivotal role in conscious perception. According to the ...

Traditionally, perception and cognition have been considered distinct domains of psychological science. Perception was understood to be the raw data collector—our sensory touchpoint with the external ...
