Study provides an answer to the age-old philosophical question of whether people can see the world objectively. In terms of visual perception, the answer is no.
Visual Neuroscience
Visual Neuroscience news articles cover science research into visual cortex, vision, visual disorders, blindness, brain processing of visual cues, facial recognition and research related to how eyes and brains function.
The ability of retinal cells to "wall off" damage may be key to preserving vision.
Results from a new artificial intelligence study indicate number sense is spontaneously created by the visual system, without prior experience of counting.
A special network that runs from the retina deep into the brain may help mediate social attraction, a new study reveals.
Adults who played Pokemon video games as children had preferential activation in the visual system for Pokemon character, researchers report. The finding shed light on the development of the visual system and categorization in the brain.
Visual preferences for faces and social scenes form within the first few months of life, a new study reports.
The fusiform face area, an area of the visual cortex responsible for facial processing, develops much earlier than previously believed.
Using animal models, researchers demonstrate a potentially effective approach to treating blindness associated with genetic conditions by using mRNA and lipid nanoparticles.
Researchers say most people are not aware that two forms of the letter 'g' exist and, for those who are aware, most can not correctly identify or write the typeset version we usually see. The findings suggest the important role writing styles play in letter learning.
The study of a man with a neurodegenerative disease that has robbed his ability to see certain numbers sheds light on how the brain processes information without any visual awareness of the stimuli.
A new study provides insights into how our brain extracts information about our natural surroundings from the light captured by our eyes.
Researchers have uncovered what they are calling 'neurological synergy' which occurs during visual adaptation.
