Now, a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences provides new insights into how humans process foveal and peripheral visual information when we direct our gaze ...

For more than 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same function are ...

Vision is an active process. Higher-order cognitive influences, including attention, expectation and perceptual task, as well as motor signals, are fed into the sensory apparatus. This enables ...

A study carried out by the University of Barcelona and the University of Rochester reveals data on how the visual system can process detailed information about the environment in complex and ...

Modern living and working environments are increasingly characterized by the simultaneous execution of locomotion and sensory—mostly visual—processing. Also, many job profiles require the ...

Visual information coming into the brain is complex, so how it’s processed is vital to a person being able to navigate their environment successfully. We know that it’s the neurons responsible for ...

Why visual perception is a decision -making process Date: May 12, 2020 Source: Ruhr-University Bochum Summary: A popular theory in neuroscience called predictive coding proposes that the brain ...

The current model for visual processing and perception dictates that all signals from the retina pass through V1, which processes simple information such as edges and lines, before sending the signals ...

They also facilitate the processing of visual stimuli. When you move your hands, your brain first perceives and interprets sensory information, then it selects the appropriate motor plan before ...

The visual cortex, a key region for interpreting and processing visual input, plays a crucial role in shaping what we see. ... studies the neural circuits that process sensory information.

People suffering from body dysmorphic disorder, or BDD -- a severe mental illness characterized by debilitating misperceptions that they appear disfigured and ugly -- process visual information ...

Yale researchers have discovered a process in the primate brain that sheds new light on how visual systems work and could lead to advances in both human neuroscience and artificial intelligence.
