Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development ...

Your ability to notice what matters visually comes from an ancient brain system over 500 million years old.

The occipital lobe is the brain's essential visual processing centre, responsible for interpreting everything we see ...

Imagine a ball bouncing down a flight of stairs. Now think about a cascade of water flowing down those same stairs. The ball and the water behave very differently, and it turns out that your brain has ...

Researchers have demonstrated the use of AI-selected natural images and AI-generated synthetic images as neuroscientific tools for probing the visual processing areas of the brain. The goal is to ...

New research following children for more than a decade links high screen exposure before age two to accelerated brain maturation, slower decision-making, and increased anxiety by adolescence.

Elon Musk recently pronounced that the next Neuralink project will be a “Blindsight” cortical implant to restore vision: “Resolution will be low at first, like early Nintendo graphics, but ultimately ...

Sounds can alter the way the brain interprets what it sees. This is the key finding of a new study by SISSA researchers in Trieste, published in PLOS Computational Biology. The research shows that, ...

A new study showcases how brain waves known as alpha oscillations help us distinguish between ourselves and the outside world ...

Learning to read is not easy, but it is made more difficult for a child who cannot see the words and letters on the page correctly. It may not be a problem with their eyes, though. Even children with ...

Optical illusions are like mini brain tests that are designed to challenge your perception, observation, and visual ...
