Optical illusions are helping researchers better understand attention and visual perception. Findings suggest attention operates periodically on the perceptual binding of visual information.
Results from a new artificial intelligence study indicate number sense is spontaneously created by the visual system, without prior experience of counting.
A new deep learning algorithm can reliably determine what visual stimuli neurons in the visual cortex respond best to.
Current deep learning models are able to create images strongly enough to activate specific neurons in the visual cortex. However, researchers say more accurate artificial neural network models should be developed to help produce more accurate control.
CT1 cells connect around 1400 areas in the fly brain. Each cell area works like a separate neuron, allowing CT1 to access information from the fly's eye and support local motion detection.
Low-frequency optogenetic stimulation of the visual region of the brain impairs an animal's ability to make fine sensory discriminations.
Contrast sensitivity may be a result of small eye movements people may not be aware they are making, a new study reports.
Researchers have developed a new technique that helps identify the functional properties of individual synapses that link the two hemispheres of the brain.
A new study challenges 75 year old dogma of mammalian vision. Researchers have shows the post rhinal cortex obtains visual data from the superior colliculus and is not dependent upon information from primary visual cortex.
Researchers have identified a white matter pathway associated with steroacuity.
Findings could help to develop new treatments to restore site when connections between the eyes and brain are damaged, researchers say.
Spontaneously generated patterns of activity by local neural networks in the developing visual cortex provide the basis for long range connections that are established throughout brain activity over the course of cortical development, researchers report.
