Visual processing is the area of research that focuses on how the human brain processes and interprets visual information from the environment. This includes studying how visual stimuli are detected, encoded, and integrated to create a coherent visual experience. Researchers in this field often use techniques such as neuroimaging, psychophysics, and computational modeling to understand the complex processes involved in visual perception and cognition. This research area has applications in fields such as psychology, neuroscience, computer vision, and artificial intelligence. Some common topics of study in visual processing include object recognition, visual attention, visual memory, and the neural mechanisms underlying visual perception.
