University of Rochester researchers published a study in eLife in which they examined a novel neural mechanism involved in causal inference as the brain detects another object in motion during ...

Humans can visually perceive the motion of a small object better than that of a large one. By contrast, according to a study reported in the journal Current Biology on September 5, babies under 6 ...

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 ...

Since the visual processing centres of her brain went dark after a stroke, a Scottish woman has been unable to see objects. However, she has developed the remarkable ability to see objects in motion, ...

Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things. As a high school student, I learned 2 important things in my physics class: the first was that I was never ...

One of my favorite things about physics is that the result that seems to make the most sense on the surface isn't the result you get. One of the properties that can result in a seemingly weird result ...

Catching a bouncing ball or hitting a ball with a racket requires estimating when the ball will arrive. Neuroscientists have long thought that the brain does this by calculating the speed of the ...
