A new study has raised many questions about how brains process visual communication in film.
According to ScienceNews, scientists studying brain cells in mice have found that previously held thoughts on how the brain processes visual data might be false.
The study, conducted by the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle, saw researchers use a powerful microscope to peer through openings in the skulls of mice and study their brain cells. They showed the mice clips of various imagery, including simple images and more complex scenes like moments from the famous 1958 Orsen Wells noir film Touch of Evil.
