Mar. 24 -- WEDNESDAY, March 5 (HealthDay News) -- Using brain scans and computer models, researchers report they have found a way to "read" visual activity in the brain. The process relies on ...

The constructive nature of perception can be demonstrated under viewing conditions that lead to vivid subjective impressions in the absence of direct input. When a low-contrast moving grating is ...

A study in mice funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) shows for the first time that high-contrast visual stimulation can help damaged retinal neurons regrow optic nerve fibers, otherwise ...

A study in mice shows for the first time that visual stimulation can help damaged retinal neurons regrow optic nerve fibers (retinal ganglion cell axons). In combination with chemically induced neural ...

Score one for gamers. An experiment at Brown University has found a correlation between people who frequently play video games and their ability to retain learning about two quickly learned visual ...

During sleep, one type of electrical oscillation in the brain called PGO waves (Ponto-Geniculate-Occipital) are thought to activate the visual cortex and serve as a visual dream generator during REM ...

According to a new study, training human volunteers to control their own brain activity in precise areas of the brain can enhance fundamental aspects of their visual sensitivity. This non-invasive ...

The optic nerve is the eye's data cable, carrying visual information from the light-sensing neurons of the retina to the brain. Like a bundle of wires, it consists of about a million axons that each ...

Mouse study is the first to show that visual stimulation helps re-wire the visual system and partially restores sight - A study in mice funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH, U.S.) shows ...
