Our ability to store information about familiar objects depends on the connection between visual and language processing regions in the brain, according to a new study. Our ability to store ...

Whether we’re staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...

Talking while driving is widely recognized as a major source of distraction, but the specific ways conversation interferes ...

Single neuron, evoked potential and metabolic techniques show that attention influences visual processing in extrastriate cortex. We provide anatomical, electrophysiological and behavioral evidence ...

New research following children for more than a decade links high screen exposure before age two to accelerated brain maturation, slower decision-making, and increased anxiety by adolescence.

Dyslexia impacts more than reading ability. Children with dyslexia pick up visual information slower than their typically developing peers, according to new research published in JNeurosci. Some ...

Neural and computational evidence reveals that real-world size is a temporally late, semantically grounded, and hierarchically stable dimension of object representation in both human brains and ...

Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) don't see objects the way humans do -- using configural shape perception -- and that could be dangerous in real-world AI applications. The study employed ...

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 ...
