Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development ...

Visual shape processing and perception constitute a central pillar in understanding how the human brain interprets complex visual stimuli. Research in this field has revealed a multifaceted framework ...

Shape-shifting is a recurring theme across the cultural spectrum, from mythology and American Indian symbology to science fiction and video games. With “shapeshifters,” Estevan Arredondo's exhibition ...

A US-based research team has successfully demonstrated how dynamic stimulation of the visual cortex enables blind and sighted people to “see” shapes – a technique that could one day be used to convey ...

Data from individuals with different types of severe visual impairment suggest that the associations we make between sounds and shapes -- a "smooth" b or a "spiky" k -- may form during a sensitive ...

The visual cortex evolved to receive, process, and integrate visual information that enters the brain through the eyes. The information that is processed in the visual cortex is then transferred to ...

Data from individuals with different types of severe visual impairment suggest that the associations we make between sounds and shapes -- a 'smooth' b or a 'spiky' k -- may form during a sensitive ...

A team of investigators has described an approach in which implanted electrodes are stimulated in a dynamic sequence, essentially 'tracing' shapes on the surface of the visual cortex that participants ...
