People rarely notice how their eyes shape their sense of the world, yet new research shows just how powerful this effect can be. A study from Ohio researchers reveals that even small changes in the ...

Why does the brain split visual spatial perception between its hemispheres? A new review by neuroscientists examines the advantages and trade-offs, and how the brain ultimately makes vision feel ...

One of the goals of neuroscience is to integrate different disciplines that used to be relatively unrelated, but all study the nervous system. Vision science has been at the forefront of the ...

The colors we perceive and the colors that impact our health are not the same. Without thinking, we tend to make decisions about the color of light and our surroundings based on what we perceive. But ...

New artificial intelligence-generated images that appear to be one thing, but something else entirely when rotated, are helping scientists test the human mind. The work by Johns Hopkins University ...

The colors we perceive and the colors that impact our health are not the same. Without thinking, we tend to make decisions about the color of light and our surroundings based on what we perceive. But ...

For over a century, scientists believed that light, focus distance, and cognitive effort were the main forces behind changes in pupil size. But a new discovery adds breathing to that list. Researchers ...

Gravity plays a fundamental role in plant growth and development, yet little is understood about the early events of gravitropism. To identify genes affected in the signal perception and/or ...

Researchers specialized in psychiatry and psychology at the University of Helsinki investigated the effects of depression on visual perception. The study confirmed that the processing of visual ...

Visual perception changes may be an early sign of Alzheimer's, particularly in women. The condition, known as posterior cortical atrophy, often leads to visual problems like trouble reading or depth ...
