New research shows that in natural vision, visual memory of images is affected by the size of the image on the retina. The findings can have many implications, including on the use of different types ...

Differences in the distribution of certain proteins and markers in the brain may explain why some people first experience vision changes instead of memory loss in Alzheimer's disease, finds a new ...

Human memory is amazing. Psychologists who study memory have subdivided it into several memory types. First, there is sensory memory, or memory for information coming into the brain via a sensory ...

Memory and perception seem like entirely distinct experiences, and neuroscientists used to be confident that the brain produced them differently, too. But in the 1990s neuroimaging studies revealed ...

Congenital aphantasia is considered the inability to consciously generate visual imagery. Although there are early descriptions of this disorder going back to Aristotle, it was not formally described ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

A new study led by scientists at UC San Diego and Perception Dynamics Institute shows a visual training method called PATH can rapidly sharpen attention, memory and reading after concussion—and ...
