Whether you’re ordering windows for a new home or considering replacing windows in an existing house, sooner or later you’re ...

Cortical representations recreate features of the outside world in a language that is suitable for brain computation. Such representations exist at different levels of complexity, ranging from the ...

Figure 1: Spatial grid parameters other than phase are identical across cells recorded on the same or nearby tetrodes; cell-cell relationships are stable over time. We next examined the stability over ...

When animals move through 3D spaces, the neat system of grid cell activity they use for navigating on flat surfaces gets more disorderly. That has implications for some ideas about memory and other ...

Like a GPS in your brain, a newly discovered type of cell helps people keep track of their location while navigating an unfamiliar environment, researchers say. Using direct human brain recordings, ...

Milan 2014: Dutch designer Frederik Roijé has created a series of metal trays that form criss-crossing patterns when stacked on top of each other (+ slideshow). Frederik Roijé's set of three Texture ...

Manhattan’s street grid is the savior to many a lost tourist, but navigating it also requires that New Yorkers re-orient the world around themselves (what else is new?). That’s because the grid ...

Scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to recreate the complex neural codes that the brain uses to navigate through space. The feat demonstrates how powerful AI algorithms can assist ...

The ability to orient oneself in space and return safely to the starting point is crucial for the survival of humans and animals. Whether searching for food, hiking, or in everyday life, our brain ...
