Novel computational model to predict 'change blindness'

Our brains have the remarkable ability to process details, but may sometimes fail to notice even marked differences. For example, in the images above, some people may not immediately spot the difference in size between the ...

Using deep learning to research material transport in the brain

The brain is the most complex organ in the human body, controlling everything from senses to behaviors. Like any part of the body, it is subject to various errors that affect cognitive and physical functions, some of which ...
