Most people think vision happens in the eyes, but the truth is that vision is a brain function.

In this episode of the Inside the Brain Series, Mae Bagnell,IHP explores the fascinating role of the occipital lobes, the brain's primary visual processing center. Learn how your brain transforms visual information into the experience of sight and why healthy visual processing is essential for focus, attention, balance, cognition, and emotional well being.

Discover how excessive screen time and constant visual stimulation can contribute to brain fog, fatigue, headaches, dizziness, sensory overload, and poor concentration. Mae also explains the important connection between the visual system and conditions such as concussions, vestibular disorders, ADHD related attention challenges, migraines, and reading difficulties.

This episode also provides practical strategies to help support the visual brain, reduce visual stress, and improve overall brain function through the power of neuroplasticity. From changing visual distance throughout the day to spending more time outdoors and reducing visual clutter, you'll gain actionable tools you can begin using immediately.

If you've ever experienced overwhelm, difficulty focusing, dizziness, or mental exhaustion, this conversation will help you better understand the role your visual system may be playing.

Your eyes collect information, but your brain creates the experience of sight. When you intentionally support your visual brain, you can improve the way you think, feel, move, and experience the world around you.
