The question is straightforward enough: How does the brain learn to make sense of the visual world? The full answer is complicated by the fact that infants can’t talk about what they’re taking in.
Neuroscience is something that really wasn’t on my radar as a child. My dad is a mechanical engineer who encouraged me in my love of math - I thought I was going to be an astrophysicist.
Study finds decreasing activity in the eye can help overcome visual impairment.
In adults, certain regions of the brain’s visual cortex respond preferentially to specific types of input, such as faces or objects — but how and when those preferences arise has long puzzled neuro
Neurons are the star of the show in brain science, but MIT researchers believe they don’t work alone to process information.
Pawan Sinha, a professor of vision and computational neuroscience in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, first met Poonam when the girl was 13 years old.
As visual information flows into the brain through the retina, the visual cortex transforms the sensory input into coherent perceptions.
