A new study has identified the two areas of the brain responsible for our perception of orientation and shape. Research found that the two neighbouring areas, known as human visual field maps, process the different types of visual information independently.
A new study finds children with autism see simple movements twice as quickly as their non-autistic peers. This hypersensitivity to motion could provide clues to one of the fundamental causes of autism.
Researchers have discovered a complex and novel visual circuit in the brains of dragonflies. They hope the findings could some day help to improve vision systems for robots.
According to new research, dendrites play a critical role in decoding images.
Using computerized eye trackers, researchers discover at least 50 percent of people can see the movement of their own hand in total darkness.
A new study reports our brains fill in the color when we look at black and white images.
The neurons in the amygdala of ASD patients have reduced sensitivity to the eye region of other people's faces, a new study reports.
Researcher report a brain region which responds to a particular category of objects consists of a small cluster of neurons which encodes the visual features of these objects.
Researchers discover color and shape are represented independently. A new study reports on how the brain's inferior temporal cortex processes visual information.
A new study reports the oxytocin receptor plays a special role in the ability to remember faces.
Researchers find that when it comes to vision, the brain can perform more than one function without sacrificing accuracy or time.
Projecting images onto the floor of a maze, rodents can learn behaviors faster.
