Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Replicating human visual perception in machines has been an ongoing challenge for engineers and researchers. While computers today can recognize images or analyze video footage, ...

Myelin, the protective sheath around nerve fibers, plays a crucial role in brain communication. It ensures fast and efficient transmission of electrical signals. When damaged, this insulation breaks ...

For centuries, vision has been one of the most essential aspects of human experience, shaping how we navigate and understand the world. But what happens when vision is no longer constrained by biology ...

For decades, restoring sight after severe eye damage sat firmly in the realm of science fiction. Now a wave of converging ...

For decades, treatments for macular degeneration have focused on slowing, not restoring vision loss. A new retinal implant is flipping that script, turning patients with geographic atrophy into ...

Despite advances in machine vision, processing visual data requires substantial computing resources and energy, limiting deployment in edge devices. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a ...

In blinding bright light or pitch-black dark, our eyes can adjust to extreme lighting conditions within a few minutes. The human vision system, including the eyes, neurons, and brain, can also learn ...

With each passing day, the world seems to be increasingly driven by algorithms. It’s tempting to believe that artificial intelligence (AI) can do it all, including diagnosing the eyes. Patients can ...

A new study suggests that never-seen-before stem cells in the human retina can restore vision in mice with a common eye disorder. But more work is needed to translate the treatment to people. When you ...

The top half of this image depicts the proposed artificial synapse made using dye-sensitized solar cells. The plot shows the bipolar voltage response of the synapse depending on the wavelength of ...
