Does a given color elicit comparable neural activity in two different observers? Do colors elicit area-specific response patterns? To address these questions,...
Paleontologists have found three lacewing larvae with large forward-directed stemmata (eyes in holometabolans) in 100-million-year-old Kachin amber from...
A strange phenomenon called visual masking can reveal the timescale of perception, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood.
The colored plots...
New research shows that the small sounds generated within the ear by the brain contain accurate information about contemporaneous eye movements in the...
Human brain constantly combines multisensory information from our surrounding environment. Odors for instance are often perceived with visual cues; these...
An international team of scientists has developed a specific mathematical model that closely matches how a human brain works when it comes to reading vision....
Paleontologists from the American Museum of Natural History, the Instituto Argentino de Nivología, Glaciología y Ciencias Ambientales and CONICET investigated...
Blue light is becoming increasingly prevalent in artificial illumination, raising concerns about its potential health hazard to humans. In a new study,...
Myopia (short-sightedness) is associated with an increased risk of permanent vision loss. A metabolite of caffeine called 7-methylxanthine, licensed in...
A fossilized true bug preserved in Burmese amber dates back approximately 100 million years (mid-Cretaceous period), according to Oregon State University...
New research suggests that Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology in soccer is useful for preventing obvious mistakes but is not precise enough to give...
An extinct species of brachyuran crab called Callichimaera perplexa was a highly visual predator inhabiting well-lit environments, according to new research...
Cell classes are the building blocks for the central nervous system. It is widely believed that major classes of neurons have been identified in the retina,...
A duo of researchers in Spain has examined the acute effect of compounds found in cocoa and red berries on retinal functions in healthy eyes.
In healthy...
