MIT scientists found that what we see is strongly influenced by how alert or active we are. Parts of the brain responsible ...

Ultra-high-field brain scans reveal integrated maps of vision and touch, highlighting the brain's role in embodied perception ...

Neuroscientists discovered anatomical changes that occur in the white matter of visual-processing areas of the brain, in children who have congenital cataracts surgically removed. For many decades, ...

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 ...

If watching Robert De Niro ordering hammer-based retribution on a cheat's hand in Casino instinctively made you wince, you are not alone.

A schematic view of the main findings, adapting from a brain figure in the study. Our ability to store information about familiar objects depends on the connection between visual and language ...

Scientists at EPFL have developed an innovative, non-invasive brain stimulation therapy to significantly improve visual function in stroke patients who have suffered vision loss following a stroke.
