Visual neuroscience

Visual neuroscience is the study of the visual system including the visual cortex. Its goals are to understand the neurophysiology of the visual system, and to understand how neural activity results in visual perception and behaviors that depend on vision. Visual neuroscience is a branch of neuroscience, and is closely related to psychophysics.

Visual Neuroscience is an international journal devoted to the publication of experimental and theoretical research in basic visual neuroscience. It is edited by Benjamin E. Reese of the University of California, Santa Barbara, USA
