New research shows that the superior colliculus, a primitive brain region, can independently interpret visual information.

Scientists have created an advanced visual neuroprosthesis that communicates bidirectionally with the brain, marking one of ...

Blindness profoundly affects people's lives. Around the world, several laboratories, including the Biomedical ...

The human visual system provides us with a rich and meaningful percept of the world, transforming retinal signals into visuo-semantic representations. For a model of these representations, here we ...

Scientists at EPFL have developed an innovative, non-invasive brain stimulation therapy to significantly improve visual function in stroke patients who have suffered vision loss following a stroke.

Blindsight describes the phenomenon whereby individuals with damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) retain certain visually guided behaviours despite an absence of conscious visual perception. In ...

HBP researchers have trained a large-scale model of the primary visual cortex of the mouse to solve visual tasks in a highly robust way. The model provides the basis for a new generation of neural ...

A crash in visual processing can occur when the brain is overwhelmed with more information than it can handle and visual stimuli do not make the full journey to and from the front of the brain, ...

People have a lot of misconceptions about what the brain's left and right hemispheres do, but one well-known aspect of this division may be even more true than people realize: The brain not only ...
