Implantable microelectrodes that can safely capture brain activity are critical in neuroscience technologies. In a recent ...

During this task, researchers recorded neural activity in the monkey's primary visual cortex, the brain's main gateway for visual information processing.

Researchers at Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders (NERF), led by Prof. Vincent Bonin, have published two studies uncovering how visual information is processed and distributed in the brain. The ...

Brain–computer interfaces are technologies that enable direct communication between brain activity and external devices, ...

A first-of-its-kind brain map shows decision-making signals spread across 95% of the brain, reshaping neuroscience research.

It has long been known that the brain preferentially processes information that we focus our attention on—a classic example ...

How that visual "clutter" affects visual processing in the brain, however, is not well understood.

Our ability to store information about familiar objects depends on the connection between visual and language-processing regions in the brain, according to a study published in PLOS Biology by Bo ...

David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel discovered how the cerebral cortex processes visual information. Their research won them the Nobel Prize and revolutionized our understanding of the brain.

How the brain's arousal center helps control visual attention too Date: May 3, 2024 Source: University of Chicago Summary: Neuroscientists have artificially increased neuronal activity in part of ...

A rare burst of visual creativity is seen occasionally in patients with frontotemporal dementia. A UCSF-led study offers new insights into how this talent develops as key areas of the brain degenerate ...

Gene therapy partially restores visual processing in the geniculostriate pathway of patients with Leber congenital amaurosis type 2 while maintaining compensatory activity in the retinotectal pathway.
