The dementia associated with Parkinson's disease could be diagnosed earlier with new visual tests developed by University of Queensland researchers. Neurologist Peter Nestor from UQ's Queensland Brain ...

The sensory information provided by hands facilitates the processing of visual stimuli. Before hand movements, the brain first perceives and interprets sensory information, then selects the ...

Seeing feels immediate; we open our eyes and the world seems to appear as a continuous stream. But some visual illusions show that events occurring later can change how we perceive what happened ...
