New research shows how psychedelics alter visual processing and boost memory-linked brain circuits to generate hallucinations, revealing mechanisms with therapeutic implications.

Scientists have discovered that turtles possess advanced visual processing abilities once thought to be unique to mammals.

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

Neuroscientists have artificially increased neuronal activity in part of the brain by briefly shining light on genetically modified neurons. They saw that this manipulation selectively enhanced ...

Neuroscientists and philosophers are re-examining Aristotle’s model of the five senses by investigating how the brain processes sensory information.

Recent neuroscience research shows that our brain’s organization of the visual world occurs much earlier than previously thought by scientists. As early as 2 months of age, babies exhibit clear ...

Inside the Visual Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory at ASU, researchers investigate how the brain turns sensory signals into meaningful perception. Led by Professor Gi-Yeul Bae at the Department of ...

Optical illusions are a fun and interesting way to challenge our brains and sharpen our observation skills. Sometimes, what we see at first glance is not the complete picture. There are hidden within ...

Motion created by eye movements helps the brain judge distance and movement in 3D space, offering new insights into how stable vision works.

That sharp flinch during a violent movie scene is familiar to many people. A hand slams, a body falls, and your own muscles ...
