The study of visual perception and its modulation through surround suppression offers crucial insights into how the brain filters and processes vast amounts of sensory information. Across the lifespan ...

A single clear image can rewire the visual brain, making later recognition faster without relying on memory systems.

The visual perception of optical stimuli demands high performance from the brain. Every second, the eyes absorb more than 10 million pieces of information and transmit them to the brain via thousands ...

Research reveals how close human vision comes to sensing the smallest possible unit of light. Here’s why that matters for perception.

Motion created by eye movements helps the brain judge distance and movement in 3D space, offering new insights into how stable vision works.

Imagine driving a vehicle on a day when there is a lot of traffic. In a complex task like this one, we need to scan the environment constantly and look at different parts of the scene to monitor ...

An illusion is when we see and perceive an object that doesn't match the sensory input that reaches our eyes. In the case of the image below, the sensory input is four Pac Man–like black figures. But ...

“Illusions are fun, but they are also a gateway to perception,” says Hyeyoung Shin, assistant professor of neuroscience at Seoul National University. Shin is the first author of a new study in Nature ...

To clarify the visual cues contributing to skin moisture and dryness, a research team from the Cognitive Neurotechnology Unit and Visual Perception & Cognition Laboratory of Toyohashi University of ...

In 1963, Richard Gregory and Jean Wallace from the University of Cambridge published a case study of a man, functionally blind since infancy, whose sight was restored in adulthood. The man, identified ...
