The human visual system excels in interpreting complex visual scenes, with symmetry perception playing a pivotal role in organising sensory input into coherent representations. Visual symmetry ...

Imagine that you are watching a crowded hang-gliding competition, keeping track of a red and orange glider's skillful movements. Our brain uses separate circuits to achieve such outstanding tracking ...

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, ...

A long-standing paradox in vision shows that the complexity of neural encoding increases along the visual hierarchy even as visual resolution dramatically decreases. Put differently, how do people ...

The coronavirus pandemic has shifted many of our interactions online, with Zoom video calls replacing in-person classes, work meetings, conferences and other events. Will all that screen time damage ...

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 ...

A new 15-minute tool to screen stroke survivors for visual perception problems has been launched by researchers from Durham and Oxford universities. The free screening tool could make it easier for ...

In a recent review published in Brain Sciences, researchers reviewed existing data on visual impairments among Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. Parkinson's disease (PD), a widely prevalent ...

In the fast-paced world of digital distractions, a new kind of viral phenomenon has taken over our social feeds: the high-stakes visual perception challenge. As a long-time observer of how our brains ...
