Visual experience triggers the formation of a web of neural connections in different brain areas in order to make sense of ...

Visual shape processing and perception constitute a central pillar in understanding how the human brain interprets complex visual stimuli. Research in this field has revealed a multifaceted framework ...

In a recent study, the researchers explored the distortions that bias our memory regarding the locations of objects and details within a scene. These distortions creep in because our visual system ...

A US-based research team has successfully demonstrated how dynamic stimulation of the visual cortex enables blind and sighted people to “see” shapes – a technique that could one day be used to convey ...

Data from individuals with different types of severe visual impairment suggest that the associations we make between sounds and shapes -- a 'smooth' b or a 'spiky' k -- may form during a sensitive ...

A team of investigators has described an approach in which implanted electrodes are stimulated in a dynamic sequence, essentially 'tracing' shapes on the surface of the visual cortex that participants ...
