New research offers a possible explanation for how the brain learns to identify both color and black-and-white images. The researchers found evidence that early in life, when the retina is unable to process color information, the brain learns to distinguish objects based on luminance, rather than color.

Even though the human visual system has sophisticated machinery for processing color, the brain has no problem recognizing objects in black-and-white images. A new study from MIT offers a possible explanation for how the brain comes to be so adept at identifying both color and color-degraded images.

London, May 2: Neuroscientists for many decades assumed that the brain could learn to make sense of visual input during a critical time that ended around the age of 6 or 7.

Neuroscientists discovered anatomical changes that occur in the white matter of visual-processing areas of the brain, in children who have congenital cataracts surgically removed.

Research supports the idea that the window of brain plasticity for some visual tasks extends further than previously thought.

Following cataract removal, some of the brain’s visual pathways seem to be more malleable than previously thought. MIT researchers have shown that children over 7 can learn visual tasks post cataract surgery, challenging the belief that the brain's visual learning period ends at a younger age. Th
