MIT scientists explore how the brain seamlessly processes visual information from both eyes without a perceptible seam, suggesting a synchronized handoff between hemispheres for smooth perception.

A Nature Neuroscience study finds that special "illusion-encoding" neurons in the brain's visual cortex fill in missing ...

Imagine a ball bouncing down a flight of stairs. Now think about a cascade of water flowing down those same stairs. The ball and the water behave very differently, and it turns out that your brain has ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain’s visual system: one that’s responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that ...

Researchers at Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders (NERF), led by Prof. Vincent Bonin, have published two new studies uncovering how visual information is processed and distributed in the brain. The ...

A team of scientists has used AI to detect ADHD in adults by analyzing how their brains process rapid visual information. The ...

Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain's visual system: one that's responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that's involved in ...

New Haven, Conn. — Whether we’re staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people ...

Blindsight describes the phenomenon whereby individuals with damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) retain certain visually guided behaviours despite an absence of conscious visual perception. In ...

For decades, doctors have noticed a rare burst of visual creativity that occurs among a small number of patients with dementia, echoing the same strange phenomenon among patients who have had a stroke ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...
