The Hidden Truths of Perception The study published by researchers at University College London allows them to reconstruct videos from brain activity recorded from mice, raising more questions than answers about the nature of perception.
While the breakthrough itself is impressive, the implications are far reaching and challenge long held assumptions about how we process visual information. One striking aspect of this research is its approach.
Unlike previous studies that relied on broader brain imaging signals, these scientists used recordings from individual brain cells in mice to generate high quality reconstructions of videos shown to the animals.
