In A Nutshell Researchers used a light-based brain imaging technique in mice to watch, in real time, what happens in the ...

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, ...

Could complex beliefs like paranoia have roots in something as basic as vision? A new Yale study finds evidence that they might. When completing a visual perception task, in which participants had to ...

Using a blink-and-you'll-miss-it experiment, researchers from Trinity College Dublin have discovered that individuals differ widely in the rate at which they perceive visual signals. Some people ...

Recent neuroscience research shows that our brain’s organization of the visual world occurs much earlier than previously thought by scientists. As early as 2 months of age, babies exhibit clear ...

Inside the Visual Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory at ASU, researchers investigate how the brain turns sensory signals into meaningful perception. Led by Professor Gi-Yeul Bae at the Department of ...

Optical illusions are a fun and interesting way to challenge our brains and sharpen our observation skills. Sometimes, what we see at first glance is not the complete picture. There are hidden within ...

Motion created by eye movements helps the brain judge distance and movement in 3D space, offering new insights into how stable vision works.

That sharp flinch during a violent movie scene is familiar to many people. A hand slams, a body falls, and your own muscles ...

Horses are beautiful, but—hippos are ugly. Why? Why does the human mind see beauty in some images and ugliness in others? Is the perception of beauty intrinsic to how the brain processes visual ...
