Researchers shot lasers into brain cells and triggered illusions on demand—a breakthrough that’s rewriting how we see the world.

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 ...

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 ...

A new study provides evidence that the human brain constructs our seamless experience of the world by first breaking it down ...

A cognitive training program may boost production of a brain chemical that plays a vital role in memory and attention, a new ...

Using simulations, robots, and live fish, scientists at EPFL and Duke University have replicated the neural circuitry that ...

discerned in the brain’s early visual-processing regions, transform into concepts and meaning when they reach higher-level cortical networks. This “bottom-up” processing is only one part of the story.

Gene therapy with voretigene neparvovec-rzyl partially restores geniculostriate pathway function in LCA2 patients, improving visual processing. Initial LCA2 pathology shifts visual processing from the ...

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 ...

Analysing brain scans, researchers have revealed alterations in brain shape linked to memory loss and potential dementia risk ...
