Forget superpowers, your brain may already have one. Studies show people can train echolocation and detect objects using nothing but reflected sound.

People with aphantasia have no mental imagery—and they’re offering brain scientists a window into consciousness ...

The trial-to-trial variability of neuronal responses and the correlated response variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size in a manner that depends on cortical layer, suggesting ...

Prolonged near work in low luminance may accelerate myopia primarily by limiting retinal illumination through sustained accommodative miosis rather than by electronic screens per se.

TL;DR• Turtles can detect unexpected visual changes regardless of viewing angle. • This ability was previously thought to exist only in mammalian ...

Neuroscientists studying the eye’s blind spot have found that brain cells in the primary visual cortex, or V1, fire even when ...

Democrats are vying for a House seat vacated by Gov. Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey. The winner of Thursday’s primary will compete April 16 against the Republican nominee, Joe Hathaway, to serve the ...

Microstimuation, training, and the participant’s motivation, may have played a relevant role in the partial recovery of natural vision. The BaLM test was repeated once a month throughout the entire ...

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Angle of Deviation (AOD) and Prism Diopter (PD) measure the relative deviation between the eyes. Many conditions can cause misalignment of the eyes (Strabismus) and result in ...

A new study in Neuron reveals that the brain’s executive center sends highly specialized, context-dependent instructions to the visual system rather than a generic broadcast signal. The findings ...

New ultra–high-field brain scans reveal hidden body maps inside the visual system, showing how the brain weaves sight and touch together to build a unified sense of perception. Study: Vicarious body ...
