When we look at the world, our brain doesn't just recognize objects such as "a dog" or "a car," it also understands the ...

A new model reads brain signals to identify memory categories, which could help develop memory-restoring tools for cognitive ...

The researchers wrote that this entrainment of brain oscillators can be used to lock the timing of repetitive brain activity and, therefore, enhance, "processing of subsequently predictable stimuli." ...

A visual illusion, or optical illusion, is a type of puzzle which make tricks the eye, and it occurs when our brain's ...

Machines have come a long way in seeing and understanding images, but they still don’t see quite like humans do. A new ...

The brain's visual system consists of a network of areas that work together, with lower areas handling simple details (e.g. small regions of space, colours, edges) and higher areas representing ...

As part of our brain’s visual system, the parahippocampal cortex helps us process what we see. Cells in a region called the parahippocampal place area specialize in recognizing scenes like ...

Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of neuroscience and psychology studies. Most past studies focusing on the visual ...

Recent research shows that your brain doesn't pay attention in one smooth stream-instead, it switches focus in quick bursts, about 8 times per second.

"Actually, you've just given your brain a whole new challenge," says Thomas D. Albright, director of the Vision Center Laboratory at of the Salk Institute and an expert on how the visual system works.

The world – and therefore, the visual environment – is highly uncertain from moment to moment. Furthermore, we know that the capacity of the visual brain is strikingly limited.

Scientists find learning in the visual brain Date: November 12, 2010 Source: University of Minnesota Summary: Researchers have found that an early part of the brain's visual system rewires itself ...
