Brain researchers provide evidence for a theory of visual perception Researchers at TUM have mapped and demonstrated the process of visual perception at the cellular level in the brain.

Researchers at our university observed visual signal flow in a specific thalamocortical pathway, supporting key aspects of the 1981 Nobel Prize model by Hubel and Wiesel and refining the understanding of cortical processing: go.tum.de/450857
