Voice and face recognition may be linked even more intimately than previously thought.
Those who suffer from dry eye disease are at greater risk of suffering injuries to their corneas. Researchers report proteins produced by stem cells that regenerate the cornea could be targeted to treat or prevent such injuries.
Using patients' stem cells, researchers used 3D bioprinting to create and produce eye tissue. The advance could provide an unending supply of tissue to study, and ultimately cure retinal diseases and age-related macular degeneration.
The basics of visual perception, such as object orientation, are largely independent of cultural variation and apply broadly across human populations.
Transcranial direct current stimulation can help improve reading for those with age-related macular degeneration.
New AI technology is able to detect changes to the retina and predict the risk of retinal vein occlusion. Researchers say the technology could also be used to detect heart attack and stroke risks.
Researchers induced non-neural cells that mimic ganglion cells in the eyes of mice, effectively reducing the impact of certain eye diseases. They hope to next replicate their technique in humans in order to help restore vision lost due to eye diseases.
Single neurons conveying visual information about two separate objects in line of sight do so by alternating signals about one object or the other. However, when the two objects overlap, brain cells detect them as a single entity.
Researchers question if our brains can take in three primary color inputs and turn them into the range of different colors we can see, could a little bit more mental work result in us unlocking different hues?
Stress such as intraocular pressure elevation in the eye causes the retinal tissue to undergo transcriptional and epigenetic changes similar to natural aging.
People with subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDD), a form of age-related macular degeneration, are more likely to have underlying heart damage as a result of heart failure or heart attacks, or other forms of cardiovascular disease associated with increased stroke risk.
A new study reports regular usage of medications to control type 2 diabetes and lower cholesterol may decrease the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration.
