Well, you are not the only one because such optical illusions commonly take place when your brain wrongly interprets what ...

During this task, researchers recorded neural activity in the monkey's primary visual cortex, the brain's main gateway for visual information processing.

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 ...

Learn the life-threatening brain blood clot signs everyone should recognize. These red flags require immediate emergency care ...

What Is the Occipital Lobe? The occipital lobe contains the primary visual processing center of the brain, including the visual cortexes.

Why the Brain Splits Visual Processing Across Hemispheres Splitting visual tasks between hemispheres boosts attention and memory while preventing perceptual overload.

Scientists warn against reading too much into a small experiment about ChatGPT and brain activity that is receiving a lot of ...

David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel discovered how the cerebral cortex processes visual information. Their research won them the Nobel Prize and revolutionized our understanding of the brain.

The human brain actually lights up with signals known as ultra weak photon emotions (UPEs), which are a byproduct of metabolic processes. Researchers have now been able to detect UPEs and determine ...

This breakthrough in visual pattern recognition in bees reveals how these insects’ unique behaviours inform smarter, more ...

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