A new study suggests that even if monkeys do not realize they have received a visual signal, they still change their behavior using it. The visual cortex makes up one of the largest regions of the ...

A new study in Neuron reveals that the brain’s executive center sends highly specialized, context-dependent instructions to the visual system rather than a generic broadcast signal. The findings ...

Glaucoma patients show slower visual response times, indicating impaired visual signal processing rather than motor or attention deficits. The study involved glaucoma patients and healthy controls, ...

Why do our mental images stay sharp even when we are moving fast? A team of neuroscientists has identified a mechanism that corrects visual distortions caused by movement in animals. The study, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Replicating human visual perception in machines has been an ongoing challenge for engineers and researchers. While computers today can recognize images or analyze video footage, ...

Why do our mental images stay sharp even when we are moving fast? A team of neuroscientists led by Professor Maximilian Jösch at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) has identified a ...

Stars emit light that travels through empty space without significant attenuation. The visual signal is essentially lossless until detected. After many years and billions of kilometers, ...
