The occipital lobe contains the primary visual processing center of the brain, including the visual cortexes. When presented with an object, your eyes send visual information to your primary ...

How that visual "clutter" affects visual processing in the brain, however, is not well understood. In a study published Oct. 22 in the journal Neuron, ...

A pattern of neural activity in the brain typically associated with attention, memory and perception; usually involves brain waves in the 30–100 Hz range. Bilateral advantage The cognitive benefit ...

Neuroscientists want to understand how individual neurons encode information that allows us to distinguish objects, like telling a leaf apart from a rock. But they have struggled to build ...

Researchers have uncovered how primate brains transform flat, 2D visual inputs into rich, 3D mental representations of objects.

Hubel and Wiesel initially demonstrated that, further along the visual pathway in the cortex, cells in a brain region called the geniculate nucleus also respond to spots of light. They wanted to build ...
