CAMBRIDGE, MA -- 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 ...

Digital displays — from phones and TVs to theater projectors — fall short of showing the full spectrum of colors visible to ...

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, ...

Researchers discover a new visual pathway that bypasses the primary visual cortex in mice, a structure previously considered essential to all visual processing. The newly discovered pathway (red).

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 ...

A new discovery has unraveled why we sometimes see colors that aren't there. The phenomenon of "color afterimages" is when you see illusory—or false—colors after staring at real colors for a longer ...

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet: The colors of the rainbow are well known to anyone who remembers “Roy G. Biv.” However, scientific research has long shown that such colors are not ...

Garmin's "Pathways" feature, a synthetic vision display showing moving rectangles, is often found distracting but is designed to improve flight path precision. The article highlights a practical use ...

Howard Hughes Medical Institute-led research has produced a complete connectome of the Drosophila visual system, enabling systematic investigations into how visual information is processed and relayed ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...
