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.
Researchers, using eye tracking software, report what we look at helps guide our decisions when faced with two visible choices.
Aphantasia is marked by the inability to generate visual images in the mind's eye. Researchers explore the neurobiological basis for the disorder.
A new study reports microglia accelerates damage in blinding eye disorders like retinitis pigmentosa.
The upper visual field bias for faces emerges at around 7 months of age. Babies over 7 months developed a preference for memorizing the upper portions of a face.
Visually represented information is a functional part of conceptual knowledge. The extend of the visual representations is influenced by visual experience.
Researchers report a neural network called the isthmic system helps us to select visual objects that catch our attention.
Researchers manipulate the connection between language and vision to show that words have a profound effect on perception.
A new visual illusion sheds light on redundancy masking and how we perceive our visual environment. The findings provide new insight into human consciousness.
A new study reveals stimulating the visual cortex for 20 minutes with a mild electrical current can improve vision for 2 hours.
A new study reports it takes longer for deaf infants to become familiar with new objects. Researchers say the study highlights a difference in how infants process information, even when the information is not auditory in nature.
Brain activity in the fusiform face area on the right side of the brain showed no difference in those with face blindness compared to those without the condition. However, researchers found those with prosopagnosia had reduced activity in a corresponding area on the left side of the brain.
