Blindness profoundly affects people's lives. Around the world, several laboratories, including the Biomedical ...

A new discovery has unraveled why we sometimes see colors that aren't there. The phenomenon of "color afterimages" is when ...

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 ...

Researchers shot lasers into brain cells and triggered illusions on demand—a breakthrough that’s rewriting how we see the world.

Psychedelics and Parkinson’s may trigger hallucinations through the same system, revealing how fragile the balance is between ...

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

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 ...

Blindsight describes the phenomenon whereby individuals with damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) retain certain visually guided behaviours despite an absence of conscious visual perception. In ...

Gene therapy with voretigene neparvovec-rzyl partially restores geniculostriate pathway function in LCA2 patients, improving visual processing. Initial LCA2 pathology shifts visual processing from the ...

A single phototransistor mimics retinal bipolar cell function while detecting visible and infrared light, enabling low-power image processing through programmable ON and OFF photoresponses. (Nanowerk ...
