Image for visual cortex stimulation

visual cortex stimulation

Visual cortex stimulation refers to the process of activating the visual cortex, the part of the brain responsible for processing visual information. This can occur naturally through sight or be induced through techniques like electrical stimulation or light stimulation in research or medical settings. Such stimulation can help scientists understand how the brain processes images and may assist in treatment for vision-related disorders. By studying these responses, researchers aim to gain insights into visual perception and enhance therapies for conditions that affect sight or brain function.
