The ability to perceive object motion accurately while in motion oneself is a cornerstone of effective navigation and interaction with the environment. Contemporary research indicates that the brain ...

University of Rochester researchers published a study in eLife in which they examined a novel neural mechanism involved in causal inference as the brain detects another object in motion during ...

Humans can visually perceive the motion of a small object better than that of a large one. By contrast, according to a study reported in the journal Current Biology on September 5, babies under six ...

New Rochester research indicates some neurons may be more adept than previously thought in helping you perceive the motion of objects while you move through the world. The findings may have ...

Researchers have provided the first clear demonstration that the theory of quantum mechanics applies to the mechanical motion of an object large enough to be seen by the naked eye. Their work ...

When Isaac Newton inscribed onto parchment his now-famed laws of motion in 1687, he could have only hoped we'd be discussing them three centuries later. Writing in Latin, Newton outlined three ...

Researchers have proposed a new paradigm that should allow scientists to observe quantum behavior in small mechanical systems. Their ideas offer a new means of addressing one of the most fascinating ...
