By activating the visual cortex electrically, those modules generate simple spots or patterns of light that the brain can try ...

Whether we’re staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...

Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of neuroscience and psychology studies. Most past studies focusing on the visual cortex ...

The team utilized the brain’s contralateral processing, in which visual information from one field is processed by the opposite hemisphere. By presenting visual stimuli to only the left or right side ...

Brains constantly predict what the eyes will see next, relying on internal feedback networks that physically rewire ...

Scientists studying brain process involved in sight have found the visual cortex also uses information gleaned from the ears as well as the eyes when viewing the world. They suggest this auditory ...

Humans and other primates are innately able to perceive fine details, vibrant colors and focus their attention on specific elements of what they are seeing at a given time. This ability is supported ...

Despite the nursery rhyme about three blind mice, mouse eyesight is surprisingly sensitive. Studying how mice see has helped researchers discover unprecedented details about how individual brain cells ...

A patient with complete blindness caused by irreversible optic nerve damage partially recovered natural vision after participating in a clinical trial of electrical stimulation of the visual cortex ...
