The ability to perceive object motion accurately while in motion oneself is a cornerstone of effective navigation and interaction with the environment. Contemporary research indicates that the brain ...

To test object-selective responses in MT/MST, we presented observers with intact and scrambled images of the same set of objects (Supplementary Fig. 1, available on ...

The researchers wanted to determine if the brain has to switch between different neurons that each have a different fixed reference frame--for example, switching between head-centered neurons and ...

New research indicates some neurons can shift to process information about movement depending on the brain's current frame of reference. The findings may have implications for developing future ...

Researchers found that people make much more accurate estimates when they have access to information about both the speed of a moving object and the timing of its rhythmic patterns. Catching a ...

When Isaac Newton wrote down his now-famed laws of motion in 1687, he could have only hoped we'd be discussing them all these centuries later. Writing in Latin, Newton outlined three universal ...

Volunteer astronomers sifting through infrared images from a retired NASA telescope have spotted a faint object racing ...
