New research shows that the superior colliculus, a primitive brain region, can independently interpret visual information.

Blindness profoundly affects people's lives. Around the world, several laboratories, including the Biomedical ...

The human visual system provides us with a rich and meaningful percept of the world, transforming retinal signals into visuo-semantic representations. For a model of these representations, here we ...

Scientists have created an advanced visual neuroprosthesis that communicates bidirectionally with the brain, marking one of ...

Sounds can alter the way the brain interprets what it sees. This is the key finding of a new study by SISSA researchers in ...

A new discovery has unraveled why we sometimes see colors that aren't there. The phenomenon of "color afterimages" is when ...

Loss of the glutamate transporters EAAT5b and EAAT7 disrupts wavelength-specific visual processing and UV-dependent prey detection in zebrafish, revealing their key roles in modulating light ...

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 ...

A new study has discovered a direct link between the number of milliseconds it takes a child’s brain to process the form of a ...

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 single phototransistor mimics retinal bipolar cell function while detecting visible and infrared light, enabling low-power image processing through programmable ON and OFF photoresponses. (Nanowerk ...
