Neurons in deep layers of the brain's cortex are the first to decipher which side of a visual border is an object and which side is the background.
Contrary to popular belief, a child's visual perception does not reach adult level at age seven. A new study reveals children's visual perception continues to develop and does not reach maturity until age ten.
Study reveals individual differences in how we perceive and imagine visual images we have seen.
Neural circuits within the retina are able to generate the information required to predict the movement and path of an object before visual signals leave the eye, researchers report.
A new study reveals how the visual system stabilizes and what happens when we shift our vision by moving our eyes.
Face pareidolia, a phenomenon where the brain is tricked into seeing human faces in inanimate objects, may occur as a result of the brain processing the perceived facial expression in the same sequential way it perceives a human face.
Researchers say the order in which your senses interact with food items impacts how much you enjoy your meal.
People with depression often experience problems with visual perception. Researchers report issues with visual perception are likely linked to information processing differences in the cerebral cortex.
Researchers answer the age-old question of why people perceive the same color in different ways?
While people with aphantasia lack visual imagery ability, they have intact spatial memory. Findings suggest mental imagery recall and spatial memory may be stored differently in the brain.
It may be harder to recognize familiar faces when they wear a surgical mask to protect against COVID-19, a new study reports. Researchers noted a 15% drop in the ability for people to recognize faces when they were masked.
Study links brain structure to color perceptual function. Microscopy revealed 'hue maps,' or color palettes, in the brain that are spectrally organized arrangements of hue responses.
