Understanding How the Brain Sorts Through Noise (VIDEO)
Caption
This video shows how adding randomly moving dots, or visual “noise,” makes visual motion cues much harder for your brain to interpret, until the noise is removed toward the end of the video. Using segments of these animations, the study found that individual neurons are responsible for the brain’s complex ability to shift between different sensory signals depending on which are more reliable.
