New research published in Neuropsychologia provides evidence that adults with dyslexia process visual information differently ...

MIT scientists found that what we see is strongly influenced by how alert or active we are. Parts of the brain responsible ...

A closed-loop cortical implant generates functional percepts of shape, motion, and letters in two individuals with acquired ...

A new study in Neuron reveals that the brain’s executive center sends highly specialized, context-dependent instructions to the visual system rather than a generic broadcast signal. The findings ...

Researchers at Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders (NERF), led by Prof. Vincent Bonin, have published two new studies uncovering how visual information is processed and distributed in the brain. The ...

Research reveals why some images feel pleasing while others uncomfortable. The brain prefers visuals that cost less energy.

Neuroscientists have artificially increased neuronal activity in part of the brain by briefly shining light on genetically modified neurons. They saw that this manipulation selectively enhanced ...

Ultra-high-field brain scans reveal integrated maps of vision and touch, highlighting the brain's role in embodied perception ...

A schematic view of the main findings, adapting from a brain figure in the study. Our ability to store information about familiar objects depends on the connection between visual and language ...

Blindsight describes the phenomenon whereby individuals with damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) retain certain visually guided behaviours despite an absence of conscious visual perception. In ...
