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 ...

Digital displays — from phones and TVs to theater projectors — fall short of showing the full spectrum of colors visible to ...

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 ...

UC Santa Barbara neuroscientists have reconstructed the entire anterior visual pathway of a fruit fly, a complex series of neural connections between the insect’s eyes and the navigation center of its ...

Researchers have found that gene therapy not only reverses blindness in those who have Leber's congenital amaurosis Type 2 (LCA2) but can also restore visual pathways in the brain even after years of ...

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet: The colors of the rainbow are well known to anyone who remembers “Roy G. Biv.” However, scientific research has long shown that such colors are not ...

Garmin's "Pathways" feature, a synthetic vision display showing moving rectangles, is often found distracting but is designed to improve flight path precision. The article highlights a practical use ...

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 ...
