Caught it in its last moments …

Recurrent pattern completion drives the neocortical representation of sensory inference - Nature Neuroscience Neurons that respond emergently to illusory contours drive pattern completion in V1. Pattern completion in lower cortical areas may therefore mediate perceptual inference by selectively reinforcing…

The origins of hallucinations are traced in specialized brain cells Researchers used lasers to record and stimulate the activity of neurons in mice to learn how the brain processes and interprets optical illusions.

Why do optical illusions work? The culprit may be a group of neurons in the visual cortex that help us fill in missing information.

@markjohnpost.bsky.social for @washingtonpost.com dives into the science and how it could help demystify visual hallucinations: www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

Good one this week!

Yes, the chicken was doing some kind of turn every time on this day. It was fun to watch as it predicted the decision to ring.

When a neuroscientist is bored with chickens over the weekend…

Chickens are smarter than you might think....

🧠 Scientists shot lasers into brain cells to uncover how illusions work.

This study, published in @natneuro.nature.com, was supported by the @alleninstitute.org’s OpenScope program and could help us better understand neuropsychiatric disorders.

Thank you @fox13seattle.bsky.social for sharing a recent #OpenScope study on the science of illusions!

@hyeyoungshin.bsky.social shared how this research helps the world better understand how schizophrenia and other mental conditions work.

Open science is more than just datasets. It's also opening access to scientific facilities and pipelines.

OpenScope allows researchers from around the world to pitch experiments to be run – at not cost to them – in the Allen Brain Observatory.
