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

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 ...

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

Human vision is much closer to cognitive theater than video surveillance. Source: Michael Morse/Pexels "He felt all at once like an ineffectual moth, fluttering at the windowpane of reality, dimly ...

(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, ...

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 ...

Elon Musk's ambitious eye implants that "ultimately may exceed normal human vision" are unlikely to reach this lofty benchmark, according to scientists who have used 'virtual patients' to expose the ...

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 ...

A group of scientists restored vision in a monkey by using human stem cells to fix a hole in its retina. The research could open new doors for vision treatment in humans and other animals, too. A new ...

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 ...
