Researchers at the University of Southern California have made a significant breakthrough in understanding how the human ...

But visual memory isn't perfect and, as such, is not always accurate, Smalley says. For example, someone who has visual memory of a poodle might map the attributes of a poodle onto other dogs that ...

Visual object memory refers to our brain's ability to store, recognize, and recall visual information about objects we perceive. This capability is essential for interacting with the world ...

Objects seem to distort the perception of spatial relationships (Vickery & Chun, 2010). Current psychophysical and neuroimaging research in the Vickery lab seeks to map and better understand how and ...

The most detailed map ever made of the communication links between the hippocampus – the brain’s memory control centre – and the rest of the brain has been created by Australian scientists.

Different parts of the brain have been carefully mapped, so we have some idea of what parts of the brain are used to perceive our environment, move our bodies, or solve problems, for example. In ...

Technology AI with no visual sensors generates an internal map to finds its way. The memory of a “blind” artificial intelligence that has been crossing a room contains information that can ...

However, it had been thought that this visual memory was light on details, instead providing just the gist of the image. In the PNAS study, the volunteers were shown 2,500 images, each for 3 seconds.

The new study, published April 7 in the journal Neuron, challenges both of these theories.Rather than reflecting what happens during perception or relying on special memory storehouses, working ...
