People are immersed in perceptual space. It is challenging to imagine any naturalistic perceptual act abstracted from a spatial location, form or configuration of some kind. Indeed, there is a long ...

Visual perception emerges from a cascade of neural transformations that begin with photoreceptors in the retina and proceed via the lateral geniculate nucleus to primary visual cortex (V1), thereafter ...

Bumblebees see the world differently under stress, processing visual information more sharply and making quicker decisions, ...

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 ...

A Yale study explores how visual clutter influences perception, showing that its location affects information efficiency in the brain. By studying macaque monkeys, researchers found that while clutter ...

Researchers at Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders (NERF), led by Prof. Vincent Bonin, have published two new studies uncovering how visual information is processed and distributed in the brain. The ...

A longstanding principle of neuroscience is that the brain processes visual stimuli from each side of the visual field in the opposite hemisphere: stimuli from the right side are processed in the left ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A new analysis argues many consciousness studies may measure information processing, not subjective experience. (CREDIT: ...
