A field of neurons (green) and astrocytes(purple) within visual cortex, visualized by high-resolution two-photon imaging in the intact brain. The astrocytesare labeled with the marker dye SR101, and both neurons and astrocytesare subsequently labeled with the calcium indicator OGB1.

Question: What do you see in the red circles? A bottle, a cell phone, a person, a shoe? The answer: They're all the same. Professor Antonio Torralba created these low-resolution images, in which the circled shapes were inserted and are all identical, to demonstrate how context affects our recognition of objects. Even the 'car' in the lower left image is the same object.

This frame from a time-lapse movie shows multiple traces (red) of a single rat whisker, captured at 3,200 frames per second, as it moves from left to right across a rough surface and then a smoother one. (For clarity, only every 3rd trace is shown, or about one per millisecond). Clusters and gaps of the traces correspond to this whisker's rapid sticking and slipping movements during ~175 millisec...
