The circuit that lets your brain think and see
Research at Columbia Engineering reveals that the brain's circuitry operates more efficiently than previously understood, challenging traditional views of how visual information is processed. Nuttida Rungratsameetaweemana proposes that the brain integrates thinking and seeing more directly than the conventional model suggests.
