Visual perception emerges from a cascade of neural transformations that begin with photoreceptors in the retina and proceed via the lateral geniculate nucleus to primary visual cortex (V1), thereafter ...

Sounds can alter the way the brain interprets what it sees. This is the key finding of a new study by SISSA researchers in Trieste, published in PLOS Computational Biology. The research shows that, ...

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 ...

A longstanding principle of neuroscience is that the brain processes visual stimuli from each side of the visual field in the opposite hemisphere: stimuli from the right side are processed in the left ...

A Yale study explores how visual clutter influences perception, showing that its location affects information efficiency in the brain. By studying macaque monkeys, researchers found that while clutter ...
