Eye-specific effects of binocular rivalry in the human lateral geniculate nucleus

Article Abstract:

High-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is used in conjunction with a new binocular rivalry stimulus to show that signals recorded from the human lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) exhibit eye-specific suppression during rivalry. The human LGN is the earliest stage of visual processing that reflects eye-specific dominance and suppression.

A state of ignorance

Article Abstract:

Researchers who worked on the brains of brain-damaged patients using functional magnetic resonance imaging found activity in language networks that was similar to that of healthy individuals. Some researchers are combating for permission to work with brain-damaged patients since the results are only preliminary and need further investigation.
