The occipital lobe is the brain's essential visual processing centre, responsible for interpreting everything we see ...

Your ability to notice what matters visually comes from an ancient brain system over 500 million years old.

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

New research shows that the superior colliculus, a primitive brain region, can independently interpret visual information. This challenges long-held beliefs that only the cortex handles such complex ...

Neuroscientists have artificially increased neuronal activity in part of the brain by briefly shining light on genetically modified neurons. They saw that this manipulation selectively enhanced ...

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 study of mice starts to unravel how the brain gets tricked by this kind of optical illusion, and it gives clues about how visual perception works. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Scientists have found that the precise timing of electrical activity in our brains determines how well we process the world around us. This new knowledge could have massive implications for how we ...

The results revealed that the speed of alpha brain waves in the parietal cortex plays a key role. This region of the brain ...
