Where in your brain do you process images?

Question

Where in our brain do we process images both from our eyes and our imagination/visulisation of things? Also, are they connected in some way if it is actually in different areas of the brain?

Answer 1

the occipital lobe at the back of the brain

Answer 2

Face Recognition
http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/java/faces.html

The findings indicate the mechanisms responsible for face perception may be a learned skill rather than an innate function of the human brain: nurture, not nature. The primary authors of the study, published in the June issue of Nature Neuroscience, are Isabel Gauthier, a recent Yale Ph.D., and Michael J. Tarr, associate professor of cognitive and linguistic sciences at Brown

Artificial face perception
A great deal of effort has been put into developing software that can recognise human faces; see facial recognition system. Much of the work has been done by a branch of artificial intelligence known as computer vision which uses findings from the psychology of face perception to inform software design.

Answer 3

This is the primary visual cortex it takes up about a 1/3 of our Cerebral Cortex. If I remember correctly that in the Back of our head.
twokay75 may be Correct about other areas processing this information. Sometimes when a person has a Stroke for example; the Brain can (Not Always) reroute information to other areas so it can still function in that area of need.

Answer 4

Occipital Lobe

Answer 5

On the left side of your brain. Right side usually involves the processing of numbers .

Answer 6

Vision is processed in the visual cortex (obvious name eh?), whereas the process of imagination/visualisation is more complex - there are studies that show that there is a corelation between the frontal lobe, pre-frontal lobe and the visual cortex when visualisation takes place.

Answer 7

On the dark side, and I don't mind telling you it is hard to get the chemicals and red lighting in there, a little stuffy but then the only air conditioning is through the ear.

the room next door is where the imaginative pics come in, so it's not far to travel to collect them.

Answer 8

image is formed on retina as an inverted.beside it, is a very sensitive to light.Optical lobes are used in visualisation

Answer 9

In our brain processor

Answer 10

i did know but its been ages now since i left school and im so happy school is just a waste of time i remember retina
