Visual Neuroscience
Visual Neuroscience is a branch of neuroscience that focuses on how the brain processes visual information. It studies the pathways and mechanisms involved in vision, including how light is converted into neural signals by the retina and how these signals are interpreted by various brain regions, such as the visual cortex.
Researchers in visual neuroscience explore topics like color perception, depth perception, and motion detection. They use techniques such as brain imaging and electrophysiology to understand how visual stimuli are processed and how visual disorders, like color blindness or amblyopia, can affect perception and behavior.
