A "CatCam” that captures feline-centric video of a forest and a new mathematical model are two elements of a new effort to explain how the brain’s visual circuitry processes real scenes. The new model of the neural responses of a major visual-processing brain region promises to significantly advance understanding of vision. The researchers sought to develop the new model because until now, studies of the visual system have used simple stimuli such as dots, bars and gratings. read more
