Cerebral (cortical) visual impairment (CVI) is a condition that interferes with the ability of the brain to process information from the eyes, and it has become a leading cause of visual impairment in the U.S.

A new study found that special patented glasses engineered with technically advanced spectral notch filters enhance color vision for those with the most common types of red-green color vision deficiency (“anomalous trichromacy”).

A new study led by researchers at Harvard Medical School and the VA Boston Healthcare System shows that face blindness may arise from deficits beyond visual perception and appears to involve glitches in retrieving various contextual cues from memory.

Caltech researchers have combined tools from machine learning and neuroscience to discover that the brain uses a mathematical system to organize visual objects according to their principal components. The work was published June 3 in Nature.

Researchers at the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience identify three distinct cortical representations that develop independent of visual experience but undergo experience-dependent reshaping, an essential part of cortical network maturation.

Researchers at the National Eye Institute (NEI) have defined a crucial window of time that mice need to key in on visual events.

Computer model of face processing could reveal how the brain produces richly detailed visual representations so quickly.

According to a study from Emory University, as young as six days a baby’s brain appears hardwired for the specialized tasks of seeing faces and seeing places.

In a new study from Virginia Tech, neuroscientists reveal a surprising clue about how the intricate visual processing system forms during early brain development.

A new study from Brown researchers finds that rewards improve performance on a visual perceptual task only if participants sleep after training.
