In [[cognitive neuroscience]], '''visual modularity''' is an organizational concept concerning how [[Visual perception|vision]] works. The way in which the [[primate]] [[visual system]] operates is currently under intense scientific scrutiny. One dominant thesis is that different properties of the visual world ([[color]], [[Motion (physics)|motion]], [[shape|form]] and so forth) require different computational solutions which are implemented in anatomically/functionally distinct regions that operate independently – that is, in a modular fashion.<ref name="calpar1">{{cite journalbook|last=Calabretta|first=R.|author2=Parisi, D. |year=2005|titlechapter=Evolutionary Connectionism and Mind/Brain Modularity|journalchapter-url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/2456089_Evolutionary_Connectionism_and_MindBrain_Modularity|title=Modularity.
