Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development ...
New ultra–high-field brain scans reveal hidden body maps inside the visual system, showing how the brain weaves sight and touch together to build a unified sense of perception. Study: Vicarious body ...
New artificial intelligence-generated images that appear to be one thing, but something else entirely when rotated, are helping scientists test the human mind. The work by Johns Hopkins University ...
Why does the brain split visual spatial perception between its hemispheres? A new review by neuroscientists examines the advantages and trade-offs, and how the brain ultimately makes vision feel ...
Whether we’re staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...
In a massive scientific effort, hundreds of researchers have helped to map the connections between hundreds of thousands of neurons in the mouse brain and then overlayed their firing patterns in ...
A team of scientists has identified areas of the brain that are activated when a person becomes aware of themself and their thoughts. This enigmatic process appears to be controlled by the thalamus, a ...
Our brains create false perceptions through these illusions, which make us see things that do not exist while they distort ...
People have a lot of misconceptions about what the brain's left and right hemispheres do, but one well-known aspect of this division may be even more true than people realize: The brain not only ...
