Load theory assumes that neural activation to distractors in early sensory cortices is modulated by the perceptual load of a main task, regardless of whether task and distractor share the same sensory ...

Higher visual functions, particularly object and face recognition, are crucial for interacting with and making sense of the environment. A hallmark of primate vision is our ability to rapidly and ...

A small team of brain researchers at South China Normal University, working with a colleague from the University of New South Wales, has found that the visual processing parts of the brain light up in ...

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 ...

Our ability to store information about familiar objects depends on the connection between visual and language processing regions in the brain, according to a new study. Our ability to store ...

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 ...

Bumblebees see the world differently under stress, processing visual information more sharply and making quicker decisions, ...

A Yale-led study uncovered unexpected communication between retinal visual pathways that were thought to operate separately.

Reading difficulties, like dyslexia, are common and often affect achievement and outcomes during school and later in life. A new study, published in Current Biology, reports that current methods used ...

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine, Cornell Tech and Cornell's Ithaca campus have demonstrated the use of AI-selected natural images and AI-generated synthetic images as neuroscientific tools for ...
