Staring at a deep red light for three minutes a day can significantly improve declining eyesight, finds a new UCL-led study, the first of its…
Neuroscientists delve into how background brightness influences our perception of an object. It’s a classic visual illusion: Two gray dots appear on a background that…
Princeton-led team trains wild hummingbirds to discriminate UV color combinations. To find food, dazzle mates, escape predators and navigate diverse terrain, birds rely on their…
Recently discovered ‘single-pixel vision’ in fish could help researchers understand how humans are able to spot tiny details in their environment — like stars in…
Researchers apply metasurfaces to standard contact lenses for customizable color correction. Researchers have incorporated ultra-thin optical devices known as metasurfaces into off-the-shelf contact lenses to…
3D movies reveal how cuttlefish determine distance when striking at prey. While cuttlefish wearing glasses is an unexpected sight, a University of Minnesota-led research team…
University of Maryland researchers showed sight deprivation changes how groups of neurons work together and alters their sensitivity to different frequencies. Scientists have known that…
In experiments with rats, pigs and monkeys, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers have developed a way to deliver sight-saving gene therapy to the retina. If proved…
Shifting attention can interfere with our perceptions of reality. We live in a world of distractions. We multitask our way through our days. We wear…
Movies featuring heroes with superpowers, such as flight, X-ray vision or extraordinary strength, are all the rage. But while these popular characters are mere flights…
