Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development ...

The human visual system excels in interpreting complex visual scenes, with symmetry perception playing a pivotal role in organising sensory input into coherent representations. Visual symmetry ...

Glass patterns have long served as a paradigmatic tool for unravelling the mechanisms underlying visual form perception and the integration of motion cues. These intricate stimuli, composed of ...

How optical illusions work has been long-debated among scientists and philosophers, who wonder whether these illusions stem from neural processing in the eye or involve higher-level cognitive ...

Objective To investigate the effects of posture and level of exertion on dynamic visual acuity (DVA; visual perceptual processing task) in athletes with and without history of sport-related concussion ...

Neuronal responses in cortical area MT to two speeds show a robust bias toward the faster speed when stimulus speeds are slow, which could benefit figure-ground segregation in natural scenes.

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

“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 ...

In the fast-paced world of digital distractions, a new kind of viral phenomenon has taken over our social feeds: the high-stakes visual perception challenge. As a long-time observer of how our brains ...
