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 ...

A Yale-led study uncovered unexpected communication between retinal visual pathways that were thought to operate separately.

The coding privilege of end-spectral hues (red and blue) in the early visual cortex has been reported in primates. However, the origin of such bias remains unclear. Here, we provide a complete picture ...

Throughout the lifespan, humans exhibit varying abilities in perceiving color and luminance with sensitivity peaking at different stages. The interaction between luminance and color perception is ...

A new discovery has unraveled why we sometimes see colors that aren't there. The phenomenon of "color afterimages" is when you see illusory—or false—colors after staring at real colors for a longer ...

Extensive research in human cognitive neuroscience has enabled detailed documentation of the functional organization of the cortex. This organization represents regions that are specifically engaged ...

At Legacy Elementary School, the use of color was also a result of an extensive community engagement process. \| Photo Credit ...

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 ...

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 ...
