Vision is often recognized as one of the most important senses, as we get much useful information about the world around us from what we see. In this paper we systematically review the research progress on visual information processing. We first focus on the key questions about how the brain processes and represents visual information. Then, we discuss the recent work on visual plasticity, perceptual learning and bio-social information perception, offering a new understanding of visual information processing and its brain mechanism.
