Recent neuroscience research shows that our brain’s organization of the visual world occurs much earlier than previously thought by scientists. As early as 2 months of age, babies exhibit clear ...

Like a melody that keeps playing in your head even after the music stops, researchers have shown that the beat goes on when it comes to the human visual system. Researchers used periodic visual ...

Neural signatures of complex cognitive processing can occur in the absence of visual awareness, according to a study. Studies on brain-damaged patients can provide critical insight into the neural ...

Researchers have demonstrated for the first time that people can successfully navigate an obstacle course even after brain damage has left them with no awareness of the ability to see and no activity ...

Functional magnetic resonance imaging measures the neural activity of the brain based on the blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signal. Masataka Watanabe, a visiting scholar from University of Tokyo, ...

When humans look out at a visual landscape like a sunset or a beautiful overlook, we experience something — we have a conscious awareness of what that scene looks like. This awareness of the visual ...
