The study of visual perception and its modulation through surround suppression offers crucial insights into how the brain filters and processes vast amounts of sensory information. Across the lifespan ...

A single clear image can rewire the visual brain, making later recognition faster without relying on memory systems.

The visual perception of optical stimuli demands high performance from the brain. Every second, the eyes absorb more than 10 million pieces of information and transmit them to the brain via thousands ...

New ultra–high-field brain scans reveal hidden body maps inside the visual system, showing how the brain weaves sight and touch together to build a unified sense of ...

Imagine driving a vehicle on a day when there is a lot of traffic. In a complex task like this one, we need to scan the environment constantly and look at different parts of the scene to monitor ...

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

An illusion is when we see and perceive an object that doesn't match the sensory input that reaches our eyes. In the case of the image below, the sensory input is four Pac Man–like black figures. But ...

“Illusions are fun, but they are also a gateway to perception,” says Hyeyoung Shin, assistant professor of neuroscience at Seoul National University. Shin is the first author of a new study in Nature ...

A study carried out by the University of Barcelona and the University of Rochester reveals data on how the visual system can process detailed information about the environment in complex and dynamic ...

To clarify the visual cues contributing to skin moisture and dryness, a research team from the Cognitive Neurotechnology Unit and Visual Perception & Cognition Laboratory of Toyohashi University of ...

For centuries, vision has been one of the most essential aspects of human experience, shaping how we navigate and understand the world. But what happens when vision is no longer constrained by biology ...
