Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have discovered a new cellular mechanism behind how humans ...

Research reveals how close human vision comes to sensing the smallest possible unit of light. Here’s why that matters for perception.

Humans develop sharp vision during early fetal development thanks to an interplay between a vitamin A derivative and thyroid hormones in the retina, Johns Hopkins University scientists have found. The ...

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 ...

Many robots are equipped with cameras to allow them to see the world. These digital eyes record sequences of still images which must somehow be interpreted as motion. A popular approach is optical ...

A San Diego team is part of a major undertaking that will bring together more than 40 scientists, doctors, and industry experts hand-picked from around the country to make vision-restoring whole eye ...

Computer scientists have invented a camera mechanism that improves how robots see and react to the world around them. Inspired by how the human eye works, their innovative camera system mimics the ...

A remarkable fossil discovered in southern China has offered scientists a rare glimpse into our distant evolutionary past. The find suggests that some of the earliest vertebrates possessed a feature ...
