New Brain Model Reveals How Our Eyesight Can ‘Trick’ Us
Razi Berry A computer network closely modelled on part of the human brain is enabling new insights into the way our brains process moving images — and explains some perplexing optical illusions. By using decades’ worth of data from human motion perception studies, researchers have trained an artificial neural network to estimate the speed and […]
Using an “Eye-chip” to Treat Eye Diseases
Razi Berry A research team has developed a new model for conducting research on the eye. The model is actually a living retina fragment on a chip.1 The model is intended to further the development of personalized treatment of eye diseases. Specifically, the “eye-on-a-chip” may become a less invasive technique for addressing the worsening eyesight […]
Enhanced Night Vision During Eclipse
Researcher Uncovers Mechanism Behind Enhanced Vision During Eclipse You may have been lucky enough to experience a very unique solar phenomenon a few weeks ago, and along with it, a unique physiological phenomenon. Many people who saw the recent solar eclipse in its totality described having an interesting experience in which their vision was surprisingly […]
Understanding the Eye
Dr. Jodi Vingelen, ND @VLM_Dr_Jodi The Remarkable Structure of the Eye One of the most remarkable structures in all of nature is the eye. It has many resemblances to the camera, but is a much more complex and delicate instrument than the best of cameras. There are many things that affect the health of the […]
