Differences in activity between the left and right superior colliculi help researchers predict whether an animal was seeing an event.
A new study reports the retinas from our earliest vertebrate ancestors had cone like receptors, allowing them to see both in daylight and at night.
Researchers have discovered a mechanism of color vision that could answer long standing questions, such as why a dimly lit night sky has a bluish cast.
A new study addresses the nature and origin of neural signals involved in solving perceptual tasks.
Study reveals C3, which can cause damage in some eye diseases, may help to slow the progression of retinitis pigmentosa.
Due to differences in visual systems, not all animals see the world in the same way.
People who experience visual imagination have pupillary responses that optimize the amount of light hitting the retina and change in response to imagined items. This pupillary response does not occur in those with aphantasia.
Researchers decipher the retina's neural code for brain communication to create novel, more effective prosthetic retinal device for blindness.
Using optogenetics, researchers stimulated neurons in the visual cortex of mice to induce illusory images in the animals' minds.
Adults who played Pokemon video games as children had preferential activation in the visual system for Pokemon character, researchers report. The finding shed light on the development of the visual system and categorization in the brain.
A new study challenges 75 year old dogma of mammalian vision. Researchers have shows the post rhinal cortex obtains visual data from the superior colliculus and is not dependent upon information from primary visual cortex.
Researchers believe they have devised an optimal model for speed and visual processing.
