To make sense of the world, most humans rely in great part on their vision. Recent research suggests that the human visual system is hierarchical, meaning that it processes information on different levels, ranging from the low-level processing of sensory stimuli to the high-level processing associated with more advanced cognitive...

Computers are essential for solving complex problems in fields such as scheduling, logistics, and route planning, but traditional computers struggle with large-scale combinatorial optimization, as they can't efficiently process vast numbers of possibilities. To address this, researchers have explored specialized systems....

Increasingly sophisticated computer graphics and spatial 3D sound are combining to make the virtual world of games bigger, badder and more beautiful than ever. And beyond sight and sound, haptic technology can create a sense of touch—including vibrations in your gaming chair from an explosion, or difficulty turning the wheel...

Technion Researchers have developed a software package that enables computers to perform processing operations directly in memory, bypassing the CPU. This is a significant step toward developing computers that perform calculations in memory, avoiding time-consuming and energy-intensive data transfers between hardware components....
