New Baycrest research reveals that the brain remembers what we see and what we hear in different ways. Visual memories tend ...

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 ...

Some artworks become part of cultural memory. Even people who don’t actively study art can usually recognise a face, a smile, or an expression that they might have seen somewhere. According to ...

The study investigated the cortical activity associated with 3D and 2D image perception on a volumetric multiplanar display by analyzing event-related potentials (ERPs) and power spectral density (PSD ...

New research shows that brain changes in the size, white matter integrity and functional connectivity of the visual processing systems of six-month olds are evident well before they show symptoms of ...

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 ...

Researchers show that brain organoids -- clumps of lab-grown neurons -- can integrate with rat brains and respond to visual stimulation like flashing lights. In a study publishing in the journal Cell ...

Fluctuations between attention and inattention shape sensory representation, yet the dynamics of these brain state transitions and whether inattention leads to a loss of sensory information remain ...

It's hard for the octopus to pick just one party trick. It swims via jet propulsion, shoots inky chemicals at its foes, and can change its skin within seconds to blend in with its surroundings. A team ...

For human beings, vision is the most important sensory system. Therefore our brains do more elaborate processing of visual information than for any other sensory modality. This is illustrated by the ...
