   Sep 20, 2016 · The mechanism that detects eyes and shifts our attention towards them may be innate – newborns just two to five days old prefer staring at faces with direct gaze, for example, (over averted gaze). It’s not just our brains that are specialised to draw us to the gaze of others – our eyes are also exceptionally formed to catch attention and easily reveal the direction of gaze.

   What do we know about the brain?

   • “Much of what we know about the brain comes from studies of the retina because it is far more accessible for investigation,” said Santa Tumminia, Ph.D., acting director of the National Eye Institute (NEI), part of the National Institutes of Health.

   Can a brain make sense of a picture?

   • Simon Thorpe, director of the Centre de Recherche Cerveau & Cognition at the University of Toulouse, says the results “illustrate beautifully” that the brain can make sense of briefly presented images.

   What part of the brain is involved in vision?

   • According to a study 1 in monkeys, the key part of the brain is the primary visual cortex, which is also involved in vision. The authors found that neurons in this region displayed a different activity pattern for images conjured up from memory compared with that for real-time visual input.

   Can the brain produce vision without the eyes?

   • Other BRAIN investigators are attempting to artificially produce vision with a strategy that bypasses the eyes. The concept that our brains are capable of visual perception without the eyes has a long history including an observation in 1918.

   Is the eye a useful model for CNS research?

   • As a corollary, we describe the benefits of the eye as a research and diagnostic tool, presenting it as a valuable model for CNS research and an important aid in the search for new therapeutic avenues to alleviate CNS pathologies. As the eye is an extension of the brain, to search for ocular manifestations of brain pathologies seems reasonable.

   Why are eyes important?

   • Basically, eyes provide us with insights into when something meaningful is happening. Shifts in attention from another person are able to, almost reflexively redirect our attention in line with their gaze.

    Jan 16, 2014 · However, a team of neuroscientists from MIT has found that the human brain can process entire images that the eye sees for as little as 13 milliseconds — the first evidence of such rapid processing speed. That speed is far faster than the 100 milliseconds suggested by previous studies. In the new study, which appears in the journal Attention ...
