          How Your Brain Splits Space to Double Its Perception Power

          Despite popular myths about left- and right-brain thinking, research shows the hemispheres truly do divide up certain tasks—especially visual spatial perception. A new review reveals how each hemisphere processes the opposite side of your field of vision, not only early on but even in higher-level cognition like attention and memory.

          Face Blindness Affects 1 in 50

          A new study reveals that people with developmental prosopagnosia, or face blindness, struggle daily to recognize even close friends and family, despite having normal vision and memory. Many participants described coping strategies like keeping spreadsheets or using voices and clothing to identify others, but these are often exhausting and unreliable.

          Eye Movements Set the Speed Limit for What You Can See

          The speed of your eye movements, called saccades, determines how fast an object can move before it becomes invisible to you. Objects that mimic the speed and trajectory of saccades can essentially "vanish" from perception, showing that our own movements shape what we can and can't see.

          B Vitamins May Halt Glaucoma Progression

          Glaucoma damages the optic nerve and is usually managed by reducing eye pressure, though treatment effects vary. Researchers have long suspected a link with homocysteine, but new findings reveal it is a bystander, not a driver of the disease.

          Low Blood Sugar Triggers Retinal Damage, Vision Loss

          New research reveals that hypoglycemia may worsen diabetic retinopathy by breaking down the blood-retinal barrier. In diabetic mice, low blood sugar increased levels of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), a protein linked to abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage.

          Facial Movements and Pupils Reveal Tinnitus Severity

          Researchers have identified new biomarkers for tinnitus by tracking pupil dilation and subtle facial movements linked to distress levels. Using AI-powered video analysis, they found that severe tinnitus sufferers showed constant pupil dilation and reduced facial responses to sounds, indicating heightened vigilance and chronic distress.

          How Visual Neurons Adapt in Real Time

          New research reveals that neurons in the visual cortex are far more adaptable than previously thought, responding dynamically to complex stimuli during object recognition tasks. While visual processing has traditionally been viewed as mostly feedforward, this study shows that feedback from higher brain areas conveys prior knowledge and behavioral context to shape perception.

          Eyes Reveal Intentions Faster Than We Think

          Humans can detect another person’s intentions just by observing their eyes, even before any movement takes place. In experiments where participants watched video clips of people about to shift their gaze, viewers responded faster when the gaze was self-directed rather than instructed.

          Human Eyes See New Color “Olo” for the First Time

          Scientists have created a technology called Oz that stimulates individual photoreceptor cells in the human eye to create an entirely new, ultra-saturated color never seen in nature—dubbed olo. Using microdoses of laser light, Oz activates specific combinations of cone cells to generate this vivid blue-green hue, which vanishes the moment the precision targeting is disrupted.

          Brain’s Visual Symphony: How We See the World in Real Time

          Our brain doesn't passively receive visual input—it actively orchestrates a symphony of neural oscillations to process the complex, dynamic scenes we see in everyday life. A new study reveals that features like brightness and contrast in different parts of the visual field trigger distinct oscillations across specific neural circuits.

          Eye Clues to Schizophrenia Risk Found in Retinal Thickness

          The retina, as part of the central nervous system, may reflect early signs of brain disorders like schizophrenia. A large-scale genetic study found that people with higher genetic risk for schizophrenia tend to have thinner retinas, even in the absence of symptoms.
