A Vanderbilt University team says your knack for telling nearly identical objects apart might be the best defense against ...

When visual information enters the brain, it travels through two pathways that process different aspects of the input. For decades, scientists have hypothesized that one of these pathways, the ventral ...

For many years, a dominant view in neuroscience was that neurons in the inferotemporal (IT) cortex—a critical center in the ...

We take our understanding of where we are for granted, until we lose it. When we get lost in nature or a new city, our eyes and brains kick into gear, seeking familiar objects that tell us where we ...

Object recognition isn’t just about crystal-clear images. Your brain can identify everyday objects using shapes, contrast, ...

What if you could teach a computer to recognize a zebra without ever showing it one? Imagine a world where object detection isn’t bound by the limits of endless training data or high-powered hardware.

A new study questions the longstanding view that the visual system is divided into two pathways, one for object-recognition and the other for spatial tasks. Using computational vision models, ...
