Illusion circuits in the visual cortex were uncovered with two-photon holography, advancing perception and neurophysiology studies.

An illusion is when we see and perceive an object that doesn't match the sensory input that reaches our eyes. In the case of the image below, the sensory input is four Pac Man–like black figures.

We see details in only a small portion of the world in front of us, one point at a time, guided by and processed in regions of the brain detected in new research described by Christian Kiefer and his ...

Whether we’re staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...
