Scientists from Boston University, Queensland University of Technology, and the University of Toronto are advancing a shared idea about how the mind works. They argue that the same brain systems used ...

Researchers outline a roadmap for applying transcranial focused ultrasound, a noninvasive technique for stimulating the brain ...

Modern neuroscience understands the brain as a set of specialized systems. Aspects of brain function such as attention, ...

The newest Bills HC was once a Panthers offensive coordinator.

Studies show that your brain doesn’t perceive the world exactly as it is. Instead, it “fills in gaps in perception.” The first layer of your brain’s primary visual cortex helps to decide what reality ...

New research suggests intelligence arises not from a single brain region, but from how networks across the brain work together as an integrated system. Neuroscientists often describe the brain as a ...

Inside the Visual Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory at ASU, researchers investigate how the brain turns sensory signals into meaningful perception. Led by Professor Gi-Yeul Bae at the Department of ...

As we get older, we humans experience some decreases in function in multiple domains. But how much of these decreases are due to real decline and how much to disuse? And what can be done about it?

Researchers from UZH have discovered how the perception of meaning changes in the brain under the influence of LSD. The serotonin 2A receptors are responsible for altered perception. This finding will ...

An optical illusion is a visual phenomenon where our perception of thinking about an image differs from objective reality. These optical illusions occur due to the brain's attempt to interpret complex ...

Horses are beautiful, but—hippos are ugly. Why? Why does the human mind see beauty in some images and ugliness in others? Is the perception of beauty intrinsic to how the brain processes visual ...

As a person ages, perception declines, accompanied by augmented brain activity. Learning and training may ameliorate age-related degradation of perception, but age-related brain changes cannot be ...
