Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development ...

Our ability to store information about familiar objects depends on the connection between visual and language processing regions in the brain, according to a new study. Our ability to store ...

How optical illusions work has been long-debated among scientists and philosophers, who wonder whether these illusions stem from neural processing in the eye or involve higher-level cognitive ...

Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) don't see objects the way humans do -- using configural shape perception -- and that could be dangerous in real-world AI applications. The study employed ...

UNTIL ABOUT 35 years ago scientists believed there was only a single visual-processing area, called the visual cortex, situated at the back of the brain. We now know more than 30 areas in the brains ...

Learning to read is not easy, but it is made more difficult for a child who cannot see the words and letters on the page correctly. It may not be a problem with their eyes, though. Even children with ...
