The study of visual processing and attention in near-hand space has revealed that the proximity of the hands significantly alters perceptual mechanisms. Emerging evidence indicates that objects ...

When visual information enters the brain, it travels through two pathways that process different aspects of the input. For decades, scientists have hypothesized that one of these pathways, the ventral ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain’s visual system: one that’s responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that ...

This is a human visual pathway, including the optic chiasm, tracts and radiations, revealed by MRI. This subject has a large pituitary tumor, in red, causing compression. These tumors caused by ...

Extensive research in human cognitive neuroscience has enabled detailed documentation of the functional organization of the cortex. This organization represents regions that are specifically engaged ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...

A new study questions the longstanding view that the visual system is divided into two pathways, one for object-recognition and the other for spatial tasks. Using computational vision models, ...

Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain's visual system: one that's responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that's involved in ...
