Learn how our brains store images that help us achieve flashes of insight when looking at seemingly incomprehensible visual tests.

A single clear image can rewire the visual brain, making later recognition faster without relying on memory systems.

Neuroscientists want to understand how individual neurons encode information that allows us to distinguish objects, like telling a leaf apart from a rock. But they have struggled to build ...

A small team of brain researchers at South China Normal University, working with a colleague from the University of New South Wales, has found that the visual processing parts of the brain light up in ...

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's involved in ...

New research published in Neuropsychologia provides evidence that adults with dyslexia process visual information differently than typical readers, even when viewing non-text objects. The findings ...

Speed training your brain could help delay developing dementia by years, according to a recent National Institutes of Health study.

Now, a large long-term study — published Feb. 9 in the journal Alzheimer’s & Dementia: Translational Research & Clinical Interventions — suggests that training this skill with a brain game may do more ...

For decades, researchers have attempted to pinpoint the specific areas of the brain responsible for human intelligence. A new ...

Here is an optical illusion challenge that will test your visual processing speed, attention to detail, and focus. There is a ...

For decades, scientists have searched for a safe way to reach deep parts of the human brain without cutting into the skull.
