Researchers report sleep deprivation affects the parietal and occipital lobes in children, along with myelin levels in the visual system.
When convolutional neural networks are trained under experimental conditions, they are deceived by the brightness and color of a visual image in similar ways to the human visual system.
fMRI study reveals dogs do not have a specific face area similar to that of primates. Dogs' brain activity showed little response to faces but increased in response to seeing another dog over a human.
Researchers report newly hatched ducklings that are shown a substitute mother object with only one eye do not recognize it when they have only the other eye available.
Researchers reveal how the brain creates an illusion of visual stability.
A new study reports the optical illusion tricks you see could be your brain reacting to feedback between neurons in different parts of the visual system.
Researchers utilize a visual search experiment to demonstrate the human visual system has the ability to perceive objects beyond the limits of our visual field.
Effectively, mammals "dream" about the world they are about to experience before they are able to open their eyes and possibly before they are born. Researchers found before a newborn mouse opened its eyes, its retinal waves flow in a pattern that mimics the activity which would occur as the animal moves through the environment.
Facial expression can cause problems when trying to tell unfamiliar faces apart, a new study reports.
Findings suggest prediction may be a general feature of animal nervous systems in supporting quick behavioral changes.
Study may provide key insights into the visual system and perception.
Low-frequency optogenetic stimulation of the visual region of the brain impairs an animal's ability to make fine sensory discriminations.
