Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain's visual system: one that's responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that's involved in ...

The coding privilege of end-spectral hues (red and blue) in the early visual cortex has been reported in primates. However, the origin of such bias remains unclear. Here, we provide a complete picture ...

A Yale-led study uncovered unexpected communication between retinal visual pathways that were thought to operate separately.

Throughout the lifespan, humans exhibit varying abilities in perceiving color and luminance with sensitivity peaking at different stages. The interaction between luminance and color perception is ...

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, ...

A new discovery has unraveled why we sometimes see colors that aren't there. The phenomenon of "color afterimages" is when you see illusory—or false—colors after staring at real colors for a longer ...

Extensive research in human cognitive neuroscience has enabled detailed documentation of the functional organization of the cortex. This organization represents regions that are specifically engaged ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...

At Legacy Elementary School, the use of color was also a result of an extensive community engagement process. \| Photo Credit ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain’s visual system: one that’s responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that ...
