A neuroimaging study published in Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging has identified hyperactivity in the superior occipital ...

Humans and many other animals can innately recognize familiar objects in their surroundings, irrespective of the angle they are observed from, changes in lighting or other shifts in the surrounding ...

NYU Langone neuroscientists identified the brain region likely responsible for recognizing images after seeing them once, ...

Scientists used a compact AI model to predict how visual cortex neurons respond to images, revealing hidden patterns in perception.

People who lose their visual imagination after a stroke share damage to a single neural circuit. A new analysis maps these ...

Imagine a ball bouncing down a flight of stairs. Now think about a cascade of water flowing down those same stairs. The ball and the water behave very differently, and it turns out that your brain has ...

Researchers use compressed AI models to discover "dot-detecting" neurons in the macaque visual cortex, offering a new path for Alzheimer’s therapy.

Critical flicker fusion (CFF), a measure of visual processing speed, predicts executive function in younger and older adults and may be helpful in predicting decline in executive function, say ...

Each year, thousands of stroke survivors are left with hemianopia, a condition that causes loss of half of their visual field (the “vertical midline”). Hemianopia severely affects daily ...

Young adults with high social anxiety show heightened activity in the brain's visual processing areas. These neural changes explain their high alertness to social threats and offer a physical marker ...
