We conducted two event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiments to investigate the neural substrates of visual object recognition in humans. We used a repetition-priming method ...

A new study questions the longstanding view that the visual system is divided into two pathways, one for object-recognition and the other for spatial tasks. Using computational vision models, ...

When visual information enters the brain, it travels through two pathways that process different aspects of the input. For decades, scientists have hypothesized that one of these pathways, the ventral ...

When Plato set out to define what made a human a human, he settled on two primary characteristics: We do not have feathers, and we are bipedal (walking upright on two legs). Plato's characterization ...

People with visual agnosia may be unable to recognize, draw, or recall how to use objects even with properly functioning eyesight. There are two sub-types of this condition. Less than 1% of people ...

Microsoft today launched a new Visual Search capability within the Bing app that can identify objects in photos and give more information on them. Users can take a photo of an object, such as a ...

A new study suggests that unusual visual inspection of objects may precede the development of the social symptoms that are characteristic of autism syndrome disorder. Unusual visual inspection of ...
