By activating the visual cortex electrically, those modules generate simple spots or patterns of light that the brain can try ...

An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen and ...

A recent study conducted by researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich (Germany) reveals insights into the functioning of the visual cortex of macaques. The findings, published in Cell Reports, ...

Scientists discovered that the visual brain may secretly "feel" what it sees, turning sight into physical experience and ...

When you see a bag of carrots at the grocery store, does your mind go to potatoes and parsnips or buffalo wings and celery? It depends, of course, on whether you're making a hearty winter stew or ...

A Lafayette woman, Chyvonne Blanchard, who lost her vision due to glaucoma in her 20s, is participating in an Intra-cortical ...

In summary, the aim of the present investigation was to trace the cortical regions through which spatial scene information reaches the Hippocampus in humans, by using the fast neuroimaging modality ...

High-level visual cortex contains category-selective areas embedded within larger-scale topographic maps like animacy and real-world size. Here, we propose action as a key organizing factor shaping ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...
