Barrow scientists solve 200-year-old scientific debate involving visual illusions
Neuroscientists at Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center have discovered a direct link between eye motions and the perception of illusory motion that solves a 200-year-old debate. view more (2008-11-21)
Schizophrenia: Delusion without illusion
Scientists have discovered that schizophrenia sufferers are not fooled by a visual illusion and are able to judge it more accurately than non-schizophrenic observers. view more (2005-10-25)
Not just your imagination: The brain perceives optical illusions as real motion
Ever get a little motion sick from an illusion graphic designed to look like it's moving? A new study suggests that these illusions do more than trick the eye; they may also convince the brain that the graphic is actually moving. view more (2009-02-03)
Hand Can't Be Fooled, Study Shows
Research published in the March issue of Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, is suggesting that we process images in two very distinct ways. view more (2008-03-11)
Hollow mask illusion fails to fool schizophrenia patients
Patients with schizophrenia are able to correctly see through an illusion known as the 'hollow mask' illusion, probably because their brain disconnects 'what the eyes see' from what 'the brain thinks it is seeing'. view more (2009-04-07)
'Twinkle' eye test could improve AMD diagnosis
Scientists at UCL (University College London) have developed a more reliable test for detecting vision loss in people with age-related macular disease (AMD), the leading cause of blindness in the UK and US. The method, which centres on a visual illusion, could lead to earlier self-diagnosis of sight deterioration - encouraging patients to access... view more... (2007-10-25)
Wired for sound: How the brain senses visual illusions
In a study that could help reveal how illusions are produced in the brain's visual cortex, researchers at the UCSD School of Medicine have found new evidence of rapid integration of auditory and visual sensations in the brain. view more (2007-04-12)
Optical illusions, mirages that don't deceive
The aim of this paper is to dispel the excessively widespread myth that optical illusions are errors of the visual system. In 1978, Stanley Coren and Joan Stern Girgus published one of the most significant works of scientific literature in the last few decades, entitled "Seeing is Deceiving: The Psychology of Visual Illusions". view more (2006-07-24)
Rutgers Research: Discoveries Shed New Light on How the Brain Processes What the Eye Sees
Researchers at the Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience (CMBN) at Rutgers University in Newark have identified the need to develop a new framework for understanding "perceptual stability" and how we see the world with their discovery that visual input obtained during eye movements is being processed by the brain but blocked... view more...

MIT: New insights into perception
In the classic waterfall illusion, if you stare at the downward motion of a waterfall for some period of time, stationary objects - such as rocks - appear to drift upward. view more (2009-04-10)
How the brain copes with shifty eyeballs
Neurobiologists have pinpointed brain regions critical to one of the brain's more remarkable feats—piecing together a continuous view of the world by integrating snippets of visual input from constantly moving eyes. view more (2007-04-19)
Study suggests human visual system could make powerful computer
Since the idea of using DNA to create faster, smaller, and more powerful computers originated in 1994, scientists have been scrambling to develop successful ways to use genetic code for computation. view more (2008-07-24)
Learned motor programs directly influence the visual perception of movements
When novel movements are learned-for example, in sports-visual and motor learning take place simultaneously. view more (2006-01-10)
Noncorrectable vision problems associated with shorter lifespan in older adults
Visual problems that cannot be corrected are associated with increased risk of death among individuals between the ages of 49 and 74, and all visual impairments may be associated with the risk of death in older adults. view more (2009-10-13)
Blindsight: How brain sees what you do not see
Blindsight is a phenomenon in which patients with damage in the primary visual cortex of the brain can tell where an object is although they claim they cannot see it. view more (2008-10-15)
Sound adds speed to visual perception
The traditional view of individual brain areas involved in perception of different sensory stimuli-i.e., one brain region involved in hearing and another involved in seeing-has been thrown into doubt in recent years. view more (2008-08-12)
Amputees can experience prosthetic hand as their own
Scientists at Karolinska Institutet and Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in inducing people with an amputated arm to experience a prosthetic rubber hand as belonging to their own body. The results can lead to the development of a new type of touch-sensitive prosthetic hands. view more (2008-12-12)
Flight simulators for pilots offer treatment for chronic dizziness
Vision and motion simulators similar to those used by fighter pilots and astronauts can provide relief from the symptoms of chronic dizziness, researchers at Hammersmith Hospitals NHS Trust and Imperial College London report in the Journal of Neurology*. view more (2004-10-07)
Low birth weight babies with reduced occipital regional volumes at higher risk for visual impairment
Preterm infants with smaller occipital brain volumes are more likely to experience impaired visual function in early childhood according to a study published in the August 2006 issue of Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science (IOVS). view more (2006-08-30)
Epilepsy drug causes eye problems in over 40 per cent of cases
Vigabatrin, a drug used to treat epilepsy, causes eye problems in over 40 per cent of those prescribed it, shows a study in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. Vigabatrin was licensed in the UK in 1989 and was the first anti-epileptic drug to come on to the marked since the 1970s. Although effective, it has been associated with... view more... (2002-08-20)
