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

In research published in Neuron today, "Working Memory Enhances Cortical Representations via Spatially-Specific Coordination of Spike Times," Behrad Noudoost, MD, PhD, associate professor of ...

In contrast to the traditional idea that the processing of visual information consists of a sequence of feedforward operations, with neuronal functional properties taking on increasing complexity as ...

Gene therapy with voretigene neparvovec-rzyl partially restores geniculostriate pathway function in LCA2 patients, improving visual processing. Initial LCA2 pathology shifts visual processing from the ...

Researchers at the National Eye Institute (NEI) have defined a crucial window of time that mice need to key in on visual events. As the brain processes visual information, an evolutionarily conserved ...

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 ...

Blurry and clear versions of an image are represented similarly in the brain, according to a neuroimaging study. The research shows how the visual system fills in missing information to maintain ...

Middle-aged adults who suddenly need reading glasses, patients with traumatic brain injuries, and people with visual disorders such as "lazy eye" may have one thing in common -- "visual crowding," an ...

This week Gibbs looks at a language straight out of the CS labs called Processing. Designed for creating visual output, Processing is simple and easy to use yet powerful enough for serious ...

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 ...

If you’ve always wanted to learn piano, but thought you were too old to learn, think again. Not only can you pick up a new tune after a few lessons, but a new study showed that just an hour of piano ...
