Researchers have uncovered how primate brains transform flat, 2D visual inputs into rich, 3D mental representations of ...

Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of ...

"This gives us evidence that the goal of vision is to establish a 3D understanding of an object," said study senior author ...

This is the visual cortex of a person with Alzheimer’s disease — and that giant blue web depicts a brain cell called an astrocyte.

New research reveals how early-life blurry, low-color vision may help shape the brain’s visual pathways into specialized systems.

Computational neuroscience is a highly interdisciplinary and thriving branch of neuroscience that uses computational simulations and mathematical models to develop our understanding of the brain.

When we look at something, the different properties of the image are processed in different brain regions. But how does our brain make a coherent image out of such a fragmented representation?

Even though the human visual system has sophisticated machinery for processing color, the brain has no problem recognizing objects in black-and-white images. A new study from MIT offers a possible ...

Student with a focus in computational neuroscience will work in close collaboration with faculty on multidisciplinary research projects combining experimental and computational strategies.
