Visual Neuroscience

Visual neuroscience is the study of how our brain processes visual information from the eyes. When light enters the eyes, it is converted into electrical signals that travel through the optic nerve to the brain. Different areas of the brain interpret these signals, allowing us to recognize shapes, colors, movements, and faces. This field explores how visual perception works, how we perceive depth and motion, and how our eyes and brain collaborate to create the images we see. Understanding this complex interaction can help in addressing vision-related disorders and enhance technology like computer vision and artificial intelligence.
