Hearing changes how we perceive gender
Think about the confused feelings that occur when you meet someone whose tone of voice doesn't seem to quite fit with his or her gender. view more (2007-10-25)
'Twinkle after effect' can help retinal patients detect vision loss quickly and cheaply
Scientists at Schepens Eye Research Institute have discovered a simple and inexpensive way for patients with retinal and other eye disease to keep track of changes in their vision loss. view more (2007-10-24)
Study questions assumptions about human sensitivity to biological motion
Humans may not be any more sensitive in detecting biological motion compared with nonbiological motion, concludes a study recently published in Journal of Vision, an online, free-access publication of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO). view more (2007-10-18)
UCSB researchers discover the dawn of animal vision
By peering deep into evolutionary history, scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara have discovered the origins of photosensitivity in animals. view more (2007-10-17)
Impact of elevated homocysteine levels on vision under study
Homocysteine, an amino acid believed to contribute to heart attack, stroke and dementia, likely also is a player in retinal damage and vision loss, researchers say. view more (2007-10-16)
Limiting refined carbohydrates may stall AMD progression
Eating fewer refined carbohydrates may slow the progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), according to a new study from researchers at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University. view more (2007-10-08)
Nature leads the way for the next generation of paints, cosmetics and holograms
A plant-like micro-organism mostly found in oceans could make the manufacture of products, from iridescent cosmetics, paints and fabrics to credit card holograms, cheaper and 'greener'. view more (2007-10-04)
Liquid rainbows: British color researchers meet Norwegian children
Language is no barrier when British researchers from Nottingham Trent University conduct a science workshop for Norwegian children. Colour is the focus, and in the course of 45 minutes, the children experience both liquid rainbows and milk that explodes into a range of colours. view more (2007-10-01)
New night vision system reduces car accidents
About 42% of fatal car accidents happen at night, according to the European Commission for the Automobile Industry. This figure is extremely worrying bearing in mind that there is about 60% less traffic during at night time. view more (2007-09-27)
Galaxy 'Hunting' Made Easy
Astronomers using ESO's Very Large Telescope have discovered in a single pass about a dozen otherwise invisible galaxies halfway across the Universe. The discovery, based on a technique that exploits a first-class instrument, represents a major breakthrough in the field of galaxy 'hunting'. view more (2007-09-17)
No need for children with lazy eye to wear patches all day
Children with amblyopia (commonly known as lazy eye) need only wear an eye patch for three to four hours a day for 12 weeks to improve vision, say researchers in a study published on bmj.com today. view more (2007-09-17)
Microbiotic technology developed for microinjection of zebrafish embryos
Funded by an NSERC Idea to Innovations grant and an Ontario Early Researcher Award, Prof. Yu Sun's group, the Advanced Micro and Nanosystems Laboratory (http://amnl.mie.utoronto.ca) at the University of Toronto (U of T) recently developed a microrobotic technology for automated microinjection of zebrafish embryos. view more (2007-09-12)
Color contrast is 'seen' by the brain early doors
Colour contrast is detected much earlier in the brain than previously thought, a new study shows. view more (2007-09-10)
3-D fruit fly images to benefit brain research
The fragile head and brain of a fly are not easy things to examine but MRC scientists have figured out how to make it a little simpler. And they hope their research will shed light on human disease. view more (2007-09-05)
University of Alberta researchers find new cause of blindness
The scientific community is just starting to appreciate the importance of pH regulation in normal vision. view more (2007-09-05)
The aye-ayes have it: The preservation of color vision in a creature of the night
A quest to gain a more complete picture of color vision evolution has led Biodesign Institute researcher Brian Verrelli to an up-close, genetic encounter with one of the world's most rare and bizarre-looking primates. view more (2007-09-05)
Can brain-injured, partially-blind stroke patients regain some of their lost vision?
Is it possible to offer hope for stroke patients who've lose part of their vision? A study published by SAGE in the journal Neurorehabilitation & Neural Repair explores that question. view more (2007-09-05)
Research may unlock mystery of autism's origin in the brain
In the first study of its kind, researchers have discovered that in autistic individuals, connections between brain cells may be deficient within single regions, and not just between regions, as was previously believed. view more (2007-08-23)
Eye-staining technique offers early detection for dry eye syndrome
Lissamine green sounds like the latest cleaning sensation being hawked on television and probably not something you would want to get in your eyes. view more (2007-08-20)
Vision restoration therapy shown to improve brain activity in brain injured patients
Columbia University Medical Center researchers have demonstrated using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), that brain activity was increased in stroke and traumatic brain injury survivors who underwent Vision Restoration Therapy (VRT), a rehabilitative treatment that helps these patients recover lost vision. view more (2007-08-14)
