The human visual system excels in interpreting complex visual scenes, with symmetry perception playing a pivotal role in organising sensory input into coherent representations. Visual symmetry ...

Colour perception, an essential aspect of human vision, enables us to interpret and interact with our environment reliably despite fluctuating illumination. At the core of this capability is colour ...

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 ...

A longstanding principle of neuroscience is that the brain processes visual stimuli from each side of the visual field in the opposite hemisphere: stimuli from the right side are processed in the left ...

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 ...

A Yale study explores how visual clutter influences perception, showing that its location affects information efficiency in the brain. By studying macaque monkeys, researchers found that while clutter ...

Sounds can alter the way the brain interprets what it sees. This is the key finding of a new study by SISSA researchers in Trieste, published in PLOS Computational Biology. The research shows that, ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece is part of a series dedicated to the eye and improvements in restoring vision. In 1999, I defined ...

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 ...

To what extent has Earth’s gravity shaped our cognitive and brain functions? Utilizing spaceflight and a ground-based analog, a new study shows that the human brain relies on bodily gravitational ...
