Scientists at the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience (MPFI) have recently released research about visual processing in the cerebral cortex which shows evidence that the arrangement of ...

Why the Brain Splits Visual Processing Across Hemispheres Splitting visual tasks between hemispheres boosts attention and memory while preventing perceptual overload.

A first-of-its-kind brain map shows decision-making signals spread across 95% of the brain, reshaping neuroscience research.

It has long been known that the brain preferentially processes information that we focus our attention on—a classic example ...

High-level visual-processing tasks -- like object recognition, gauging size and distance, or calculating the trajectory of a moving object -- couldn't possibly preserve all that data: The brain ...

New research shows that brain changes in the size, white matter integrity and functional connectivity of the visual processing systems of six-month olds are evident well before they show symptoms ...

UNC School of Medicine researchers used MRI to document crucial differences in the visual processing system in the brains of infants who went on to be diagnosed with autism. CHAPEL HILL, N.C ...

More complex processing, performed in the visual cortex and other areas of the brain, enable us to more fully interact with our environment.

Why and how decision-making information is relayed back into the visual processing parts of the brain is an open question.
