Advances in technology have greatly accelerated scientific understanding of vision and the brain. Researchers can now ...

An important function of our vision is to segregate relevant figures from the irrelevant background. When we look at a visual stimulus, it drives a cascade of neural activity from low-level to higher ...

The brain modulates visual signals according to internal states, as a new study by LMU neuroscientist Laura Busse reveals. What we see is not simply just a neural representation of the pattern of ...
