A neuroimaging study published in Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging has identified hyperactivity in the superior occipital ...

A growing body of neuroimaging research is pinpointing exactly how psychedelic drugs hijack the brain’s visual system to produce vivid hallucinations, even when a person’s eyes are closed. Studies ...

People who lose their visual imagination after a stroke share damage to a single neural circuit. A new analysis maps these ...

NYU Langone neuroscientists identified the brain region likely responsible for recognizing images after seeing them once, ...

The researchers detected a specific delay of about 18 milliseconds between the waves in the visual cortex and the ...

Researchers challenge the "efficiency" theory of the brain, showing that neurons become more coordinated and share more information as learning occurs.

Researchers use compressed AI models to discover "dot-detecting" neurons in the macaque visual cortex, offering a new path for Alzheimer’s therapy.

Scientists used a compact AI model to predict how visual cortex neurons respond to images, revealing hidden patterns in perception.

Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds, behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published Nov. 25 in Neuron, finds in mice that via specific circuits, ...

Every illusion has a backstage crew. New research shows the brain’s own “puppet strings”—special neurons that quietly tug our perception—help us see edges and shapes that don’t actually exist. When ...

When researchers ask them to imagine something familiar, they might have a concept of what it is, and words and associations ...
