A New Model of Vision Explains How the Brain Processes Faces
When we open our eyes, we immediately see our surroundings in great detail. How the brain is able to form these richly detailed representations of the world so quickly is one of the biggest unsolved puzzles in the study of vision. Now, a computer model that captures the human visual system's ability to quickly generate a detailed scene description from an image has been developed.

Quantum Approach Could Lead to Faster Algorithms
Complex networks are ubiquitous in the real world, from artificial to purely natural ones, and they exhibit very similar geometric properties. Algorithms based on quantum mechanics perform well on such networks, but their relationship with the geometrical characteristics of networks has remained unclear until now. Researchers have now shed light on these relationships, opening up new possibilities for the use of complex networks in various fields.
