Contextual information, especially space and sequence, contributes to the distortion of perception in short-term memory.
A new study reports on how simultaneous counter-change of luminance at the borders between object and background triggers activity waves in the visual brain.
Based on the study of a stroke patient with damage to the occipito-temporal brain region, researchers made a big discovery about color categorization. They reveal color categorization and naming can be independent in the human brain. The finding challenges long-standing theories of the mandatory involvement of language in adult human cognition and color discrimination.

A new study identifies how the brain processes visual stimuli above and below the horizon differently.
Researcher map brain activity associated with out of body illusions.
According to a new study, neurons in the visual cortical area V4 calculate the size of an object based on information on its retinal image size and distance from the object.
A new study links a person's visual long term memory to tracking how an object moves.
Researchers discover that as many as one in five of us may 'hear' flashes of light.
Following surgery, the brains of children with epilepsy are able to remap and compensate for damaged areas of the visual cortex. The findings shed light on brain plasticity.
