Researchers have discovered that Great Barrier Reef anemonefish can see ultraviolet light (UV) and may use it as a ‘secret channel’ to find both food and friends.

A QBI researcher exploring ‘super-human’ colour vision systems in animals has received a funding boost from the Australian Research Council (ARC).

Queensland Brain Institute researchers have discovered some types of deep-sea fish may have highly sensitive colour vision.

A new colour vision test for animals developed by UQ researchers may help us understand why animals vary so greatly in colour.

A long-debated pathway in the brain that relays visual information directly to the amygdala, and bypasses the visual cortex, has been confirmed by new QBI research.

Bees adjust their speed to keep turning forces constant, new research from the Queensland Brain Institute, UQ shows. The findings can be applied to robots and autonomous vehicles.

New research from The University of Queensland has shown for the first time that visual hallucinations in people with macular degeneration are associated with abnormally heightened activity in the visual cortex of the brain. 

Researchers now understand how the zebrafish brain perceives and reacts to predators.

Marine animals such as mantis shrimp and octopus have inspired a new mode of underwater navigation that allows for greater accuracy.
