A new study questions the longstanding view that the visual system is divided into two pathways, one for object-recognition and the other for spatial tasks. Using computational vision models ...

"In the ventral pathway (visual areas V1–V4 and the posterior inferior temporal cortex), viewing of a small foveolar spot elicits a ring of multiple (eight) foveolar representations per ...

Researchers have uncovered how primate brains transform flat, 2D visual inputs into rich, 3D mental representations of ...

The visual system has provided the model neural system for functional brain imaging over the past 20 years, as the presentation of flashing stimuli evokes a strong cortical response in the ...

Find out what you need to know about your occipital lobe and its function. Learn about signs of an injury and how to keep the occipital lobe healthy.

Learning to read boosts the visual brain Date: September 18, 2019 Source: Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics Summary: How does learning to read change our brain? Does reading take up brain ...

In fact, the human brain's visual system actively reshapes how it represents the exact same object depending on what you're trying to do.

Two regions in the ventral visual cortex of the brain are selectively activated by images of food, reflecting the importance of food for human survival and culture ...

Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain's visual system: one that's responsible for ...

There was increased activity in a network incorporating various parts of the brain: the occipital lobe, ventral visual areas, inferior parietal, premotor, and supplementary motor regions.

Despite its advantages, which include simplicity and portability, the true potential of fNIRS remains unexplored in many regions of the brain. Previous studies have used fNIRS to detect brain activity ...

Since the early 1980s, neuroscientists have hypothesized that the primate visual system is divided into two pathways: the ventral stream, which performs object-recognition tasks, and the dorsal ...
