Researchers have been aware for long that certain regions of the brain get activated when people view particular images. However, it's been unclear whether such specialization also exists for visual ...

Influential models of visual working memory treat each item to be stored as an independent unit and assume that there are no interactions between items. However, real-world displays have structure ...

New research shows that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t simply broadcast generic commands to sensory regions—it sends finely tailored signals that shape how the brain processes vision depending on ...

To clarify the basis for infant differences in rate of visual encoding, the eye movements of a sample of 9 12-week-old infants were recorded throughout an encoding experiment. Results showed that the ...

A critical function performed by visual systems is the fast and reliable detection of features within the environment, such as moving objects or approaching threats. Neurons predicted to encode these ...

Motion is characterized by a series of positions an object traverses over time. An object presented sequentially at two positions, with a time delay between them, is sufficient for us to perceive ...
