Scientists have revived light-sensing neuron cells in organ donor eyes and restored communication between them as part of a series of discoveries that stand to transform brain and vision research.

As artificial intelligence and smart devices continue to evolve, machine vision is taking an increasingly pivotal role as a key enabler of modern technologies. Unfortunately, despite much progress, ...

TOKYO — Every second, your eyes process an enormous flood of visual information, yet your brain never crashes or overheats. Japanese researchers took inspiration from our eyes, creating an artificial ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Replicating human visual perception in machines has been an ongoing challenge for engineers and researchers. While computers today can recognize images or analyze video footage, ...

Conventional silicon architecture has taken computer vision a long way, but Purdue University researchers are developing an alternative path — taking a cue from nature — that they say is the ...

Using an experimental technique called "Oz," researchers stimulated the human retina such that people saw a brand-new color. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

In an advance at the intersection of neuromorphic engineering and photonics, researchers have developed an ionic-electronic photodetector that not only detects light but also performs in-sensor image ...

Researchers have created a small device that 'sees' and creates memories in a similar way to humans, in a promising step towards one day having applications that can make rapid, complex decisions such ...

For decades, treatments for macular degeneration have focused on slowing, not restoring vision loss. A new retinal implant is flipping that script, turning patients with geographic atrophy into ...

Since the first motion-picture projectors in the 1890s, display technologies have evolved: from televisions and smartphones to virtual- and augmented-reality headsets, they have become deeply embedded ...

The human eye can only detect wavelengths in the visible light range, but a new imaging system will let us "see" infrared ...

Despite advances in machine vision, processing visual data requires substantial computing resources and energy, limiting deployment in edge devices. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a ...
