Understanding how the brain transforms visual input into neural signals (encoding) and reconstructs perceptual or imagined content from those signals (decoding) lies at the heart of visual ...

Molecules like DNA are capable of storing large amounts of data without requiring an energy source, but accessing this molecular data is expensive and time-consuming. Researchers have developed an ...

A recent paper from Friedrich-Alexander University benchmarks energy consumption and compression efficiency for six video codecs across software and hardware decoders. While the study uses VP9 as a ...

With AV1 hardware decode on mo­bile devices stuck in the mid-to-low teens as of 2025, and with VVC at zero, it’s clear that the race to supplant H.264 and HEVC will be contested with software-only ...
