Why does the brain split visual spatial perception between its hemispheres? A new review by neuroscientists examines the advantages and trade-offs, and how the brain ultimately makes vision feel ...

In a new study published Oct. 22 in the journal Neuron, Yale researchers show that this clutter alters how information flows in the brain, as does the precise location of that clutter within the wider ...

Scientists map unprecedented detail of connections and visual perception in the mouse brain Unraveling the brain's wiring gives clues to how we see the world Date: April 11, 2025 Source: NIH ...

Researchers have discovered that the human retina synchronizes visual signals before they even reach the brain.

The current study aimed to deepen our understanding of one specific visual function, called contour integration. This process enables the brain to connect spatially separated elements into a ...

But when it comes to visual spatial perception, the brain has evolved separate neural resources for the right vs left sides of gaze even in later stages of cognitive processing, Miller said. Why?

Timothy Vickery, Ph.D., is an associate professor in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at the University of Delaware. The cognitive neuroscientist researches visual cognition, including ...

That ruled out the possibility that so-called language laterality could explain the hemispheric differences in visual perception.

For the first time, neuroscientists have established a link between shifts in our visual perception and the cadence of our steps while walking.

Horses are beautiful, but—hippos are ugly. Why? Why does the human mind see beauty in some images and ugliness in others? Is the perception of beauty intrinsic to how the brain processes visual ...
