People give meaning to the world through the categorisation of objects. When and how does this process begin? By studying the gaze of 100 infants, scientists at the Institut des Sciences Cognitives ...

The wiring and rewiring of the brain never ends. Neural pathways are constantly being reshaped as we interact with the world ...

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 ...

Three decades of psychological research show that our visual and auditory senses work together. Famously, an experiment by Robert Sekuler (1997) found that the presence or absence of a clicking sound ...

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, ...

Unusual visual inspection of objects by infants 9 months of age and older is predictive of a later diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a new UC Davis Health study has found. Unusual visual ...

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 ...

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 ...
