Article Abstract
Brightness illusions are a powerful tool in studying vision, yet their neural correlates are poorly understood. Based on a human paradigm, we presented illusory drifting gratings to mice. Primary visual cortex (V1) neurons responded to illusory gratings, matching their direction selectivity for real gratings, and they tracked the spatial phase offset between illusory and real gratings. Illusion responses were delayed compared to real gratings, in line with the theory that processing illusions requires feedback from higher visual areas (HVAs). We provide support for this theory by showing a reduced V1 response to illusions, but not real gratings, following HVAs optogenetic inhibition. Finally, we used the pupil response (PR) as an indirect perceptual report and showed that the mouse PR matches the human PR to perceived luminance changes. Our findings resolve debates over whether V1 neurons are involved in processing illusions and highlight the involvement of feedback from HVAs.

Real-time and accurate temperature monitoring has been widely recognized in both academia and industry to ensure battery operation safety. Traditional techniques are generally limited to incomplete information caused by discrete sampling points. Hence, the spiral-serpentine distributed optical fiber sensor (DOFS) layout is presented to realize in-situ full-range temperature measurement.

Accurate and noninvasive detection of cancer cells is critical for advancing early stage cancer diagnostics and monitoring tumor progression. While manual enumeration methods, such as hemocytometry, remain in use, they suffer from limited sensitivity and scalability. In this article, we report the first feasibility study demonstrating a graphene oxide (GO)-functionalized long-period fiber grating (LPG) sensor for the label-free detection of MCF-7 human breast cancer cell density via secreted cellular byproducts.

The visual systems of animals work in diverse and constantly changing environments where organism survival requires effective senses. To study the hierarchical brain networks that perform visual information processing, vision scientists require suitable tools, and Motion Clouds (MCs)-a dense mixture of drifting Gabor textons-serve as a versatile solution. Here, we present an open toolbox intended for the bespoke use of MC functions and objects within modeling or experimental psychophysics contexts, including easy integration within Psychtoolbox or PsychoPy environments.

Under-display camera (UDC) systems enable full-screen displays in smartphones by embedding the camera beneath the display panel, eliminating the need for notches or punch holes. However, the periodic pixel structures of display panels introduce significant optical diffraction effects, leading to imaging artifacts and degraded visual quality. Conventional approaches to mitigate these distortions, such as deep learning-based image reconstruction, are often computationally expensive and unsuitable for real-time applications in consumer electronics.

The increasing depth of coal mine construction has led to complex geological conditions involving high ground stress and elevated groundwater levels, presenting new challenges for water-sealing technologies in rock microfissure grouting. This study investigates ultrafine cement grouting in microfissures through systematic analysis of slurry properties and grouting simulations. Through systematic analysis of ultrafine cement grout performance across water-cement (W/C) ratios, this study establishes optimal injectable mix proportions.
