  • An intact primary visual cortex is necessary for conscious position perception, study finds
    on November 3, 2026 at 3:20 pm

    The brain uses motion signals to predict the current position of an object, enabling us to respond promptly and accurately. But how does the brain use motion information to predict an object’s position and generate visual awareness? The causal relationship between neural activity in the primary visual cortex (V1) and visual awareness has long been controversial.
