If you're a Pokémon super-fan seeing Detective Pikachu this weekend, a little bit of your brain might light up that won’t light up in the brains of those that didn’t try to catch 'em all! Find out why that's important to understanding...

Are the five senses really all that we use to take in the world around us, or is it a little more complex than that, with psychology playing a more prominent role than you might have thought?

In a talk that could change how you see things, designer and artist Jiabao Li introduces her conceptual projects that expose the inherent bias of digital media. From a helmet that makes you "allergic" to the color red to a browser...

Beau Lotto's color games puzzle your vision, but they also spotlight what you can't normally see: how your brain works. This fun, first-hand look at your own versatile sense of sight reveals how evolution tints your perception of what's...

The human brain is visibly split into a left and right side. This structure has inspired one of the most pervasive ideas about the brain: that the left side controls logic and the right side controls creativity. And yet, this is a myth,...

The newest 8K TVs have 33 million pixels - but can you even see that many?

We tend to think of physical blindness like a blindfold, but it’s much more complicated than that, and in some instances, people who have lost their vision can still "see" subconsciously.

Scientists have found a way to hack the visual process and generate shapes directly on the brain, so a person can see them without using their eyes.

The Brodie helmet, widely used during the first World War, had some serious design flaws, . But thanks to those flaws we now have a staggeringly accurate map of the brain.

At high speeds, wheels may appear to be turning backwards, creating an optical illusion known as the Wagon wheel effect. This happens because our brains fill in gaps between images to create the illusion of continuous movement. As a...

Neuroscientist Kalanit Grill-Spector (Stanford) uses fMRI to give us a picture of which parts of the brain are involved in visual processing.

Migraine Headache (Overview) | Pathophysiology, Triggers, Phases, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment



Migraine headaches are episodes of pulsative and unilateral head pain that have accompanying disability and other associated...

In this video, we explore two of the "less discussed" descending motor pathways: Rubrospinal & Tectospinal Tracts

In this video, we discuss the basic structure of the visual pathway and then the effects on vision by lesions on specific structures in that pathway.

In this video, we explore the following as it pertains to cranial nerve II, the optic nerve: Origin Anatomy Functions Pathway to the Brain

In this video, we explore how the human eye has a blind spot due to the position of the optic disc, and how our brain cleverly fills in the missing information. Through simple experiments, we discover how our perception can be influenced...

Optic nerve and the visual pathway.
