The brain may have a built-in way to quickly settle disagreements between regions processing the same scene. Researchers found that matching signals between two visual areas lasted longer, while ...

You walk into a dim room and swear someone is standing in the corner. A moment later, you realize it is only a coat rack. The ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development of computational models inspired by the brain's layered organization, also ...

Have you ever seen something that doesn't quite add up? Maybe a shape in the dark resembles a face, or an orange momentarily ...

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 cortex ...

Even in the primary visual cortex, a brain region named for its specialized role in processing basic features of what the eyes see, not every neuron ends up answering the call to process properties of ...

Take a quick, in-depth look at the primary visual cortex (V1), a critically important brain region located in the occipital lobe responsible for processing visual information. Discover how visual ...

Functional imaging has transformed our understanding of how the human brain processes visual information and supports cognitive functions, particularly in the context of disease. Non-invasive ...

Your brain makes it possible to recognize voices, recall holidays, or learn new skills.

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 ...
