The receptive fields of retinal neurons are the foundation for all downstream computations in the visual system, shaping our understanding of information processing across the visual hierarchy. Here, ...

Visual perception emerges from a cascade of neural transformations that begin with photoreceptors in the retina and proceed via the lateral geniculate nucleus to primary visual cortex (V1), thereafter ...

Seeing feels immediate; we open our eyes and the world seems to appear as a continuous stream. But some visual illusions show that events occurring later can change how we perceive what happened ...

Imagine hammering a nail into a wall: Your dominant hand swings the hammer while the other holds the nail steady. In a new theory, Cornell psychology scholars propose that everyday tasks like this are ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development of computational models inspired by the brain's layered organization, also ...
