The visual cortex – a region of the brain known to process sensory information – plays a key role in promoting the plasticity of innate, spontaneous eye movements, according to a study. By peering ...

That fruit fly appearing moments after you poured that first glass of cabernet, has just used a poppy-seed-sized brain to conduct a finely-choreographed search and arrive in time for happy hour. That ...

A dragonfly’s nimble righting reflex is a complex process involving signals from their visual system and dynamic muscular control of wing pitch, according to a new study, which offers insights into ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University showed that visual aids which create the illusion of movement, like a screen placed in front of one's hand showing the hand move, can improve motor ...

A variety of recent studies have used eye-tracking devices to monitor how our visual gaze and cognitive focus shift in tandem. For example, a study on children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) ...

It is the familiar checklist drilled into novice drivers when they first get behind the wheel, and now research has found our brains run through a similar set of processes when planning our next moves ...

Scientists have used a computer chip to restore cognitive function in a rat's brain sparking hopes the technology could one day help humans. The chip mimics the cerebellum, a small region of the brain ...

“This study elegantly shows how analysis of eye movement sheds more light on brain plasticity — an ability that is at the core of the brain’s capacity to adapt and function. More specifically, it ...
