To spot a missing item, people are 20% faster at locating what they are looking for if they factor in latent physical traits, like hardness or softness.
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.
Visual processing is influenced by experience, a new study reports.
Researchers have identified neurons in the visual cortex that can help predict an upcoming visual stimulus.
Perception and working memory are more deeply entangled than previously believed.
A new study unites cognitive science and information theory, reporting our brains are structured to make the best possible decisions given their limited resources.
Alzheimer's disease disrupts some forms of visual memory by degrading a newly identified brain circuit that connects the primary visual cortex of each hemisphere.
A specific set of socially tuned neurons fire across multiple regions across the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala at different times during mutual eye contact. The brain regions are recruited to compute selective aspects of interactive social gaze, suggesting the importance of a more contemplative role during social gaze interactions.
Subsequent search miss causes a reduction in the ability to detect an additional hazard when they spot another. The findings could help modify driver training to help reduce accidents and to develop in-vehicle technologies that focus on accident reduction.
Researchers provide evidence that the posterior parietal cortex plays a vital role in converting vision into action.
Neuroimaging study sheds new light on how we perceive colors. Activity in higher visual cortex areas matched the colors test subjects saw.
Neurons in deep layers of the brain's cortex are the first to decipher which side of a visual border is an object and which side is the background.
Researchers have identified a white matter pathway associated with steroacuity.
