An artificial vision sensor inspired by the human pupil adapts automatically to light, maintaining clear perception from darkness to glare and sharply improving recognition accuracy in machine ...

In the study, to be presented September 13 at Ubicomp 2017, the app "PupilScreen" diagnosed brain injuries with close to perfect accuracy. The researchers created a deep learning algorithm that can ...

Experimenting with mice, neuroscientists report new evidence that the eye's iris in many lower mammals directly senses light and causes the pupil to constrict without involving the brain.

We all know that driving while tired is dangerous, but so too can be driving while distracted or overstimulated. Harman has unveiled a new technology that detects all of these states. Its eye and ...
