A longstanding paradox in vision shows that the complexity of neural encoding increases along the visual hierarchy even as visual resolution dramatically decreases. Put differently, how do people ...

Vision is limited by spatial resolution, which is determined by photoreceptor spacing in the retina as well as the size, spacing and number of receptive fields (RFs) along the visual pathway. To ...

Vision systems in nature provide intriguing optical design inspiration for ultracompact imaging systems. Scientists in South Korea have now demonstrated a fully packaged ultrathin insect-eye camera, ...

The high-resolution electron microscope pictures depicting the inside of the brains of mice may help to study about what happens in our brain everyday. The junctions between nerve cells (synapses) can ...

This visual system has 0.1 nanometer (an angstrom) resolution. They merge the images at several different vibration modes to generate the image with the chemical structure. Arxiv has the full article.

Ever wondered how pro gamers get so, well, pro? Sure, it’s the hours of grinding and practicing, mastering a game’s systems and applying them in competitive situations. And yeah, it’s the hours of ...
