The study of visual processing and attention in near-hand space has revealed that the proximity of the hands significantly alters perceptual mechanisms. Emerging evidence indicates that objects ...

Vision feels like a camera feed from the eyes, but new work on a hidden brain circuit suggests what we see is constantly edited by internal signals about how alert, focused, or distracted we are.

UC Santa Barbara neuroscientists have reconstructed the entire anterior visual pathway of a fruit fly, a complex series of neural connections between the insect’s eyes and the navigation center of its ...

Neuroscientists have reconstructed the entire anterior visual pathway of a fruit fly, a complex series of connections between the insect's eyes and the navigation center of its brain. With the help of ...

A new study questions the longstanding view that the visual system is divided into two pathways, one for object-recognition and the other for spatial tasks. Using computational vision models, ...

Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain's visual system: one that's responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that's involved in ...

This is a human visual pathway, including the optic chiasm, tracts and radiations, revealed by MRI. This subject has a large pituitary tumor, in red, causing compression. These tumors caused by ...

A new study led by scientists at the Perception Dynamics Institute and the University of California San Diego demonstrates that a specific visual training program significantly outperforms standard ...

A recent study in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience shows a new approach called Perceptual Attention Therapy (PATH) restores attention, memory and reading skills more effectively than standard therapies ...

Extensive research in human cognitive neuroscience has enabled detailed documentation of the functional organization of the cortex. This organization represents regions that are specifically engaged ...
