Novel technology allows researchers to understand how a fruit fly's brain processes color.
Study identifies a neural pathway associated with error monitoring and attention function in some psychiatric disorders such as ADHD, ASD, and schizophrenia. Researchers say the pathway could be modulated with the help of transcranial magnetic stimulation or transcranial direct current stimulation.
A new study suggests hallucinations arose to help us enhance our tendency to make sense of the world around us and could help explain why some people are more prone to hallucinations that others.
Visual processing speed is reduced in children with dyslexia, a new study finds.
Visual neurons selectively respond to color and shape along a continuum. While some neurons are only activated by either a specific color or shape, others are responsive to color and shape simultaneously. The findings contradict previous beliefs about how visual processing works.
The initial reaction of the brain is independent of the facial emotional expression we see. It is only after the eye movement is completed that the brain shows strong responses to the emotional expression of a face.
Scientists are beginning to understand the neuroscience behind sensory processing disorder and are developing new therapies to help those with SPD.
The visual cortex is involved in predicting future events, a new study reports.
People with hyperphantasia, the ability to visualize vividly, have stronger connections between their visual brain network and decision-making networks. By contrast, those with aphantasia, an inability to visualize, have weaker connections between the brain regions.
The brain uses motion cues to decipher how we see objects, a new study reports.
A new study reveals multiple functions of visual attention.
A new study reports concentrating on visual tasks can render you momentarily 'deaf' to normal level sounds around you.
