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 ...
The default mode network (DMN) is a distributed set of interconnected brain regions that has long been associated with ...
Sounds can alter the way the brain interprets what it sees. This is the key finding of a new study by SISSA researchers in Trieste, published in PLOS Computational Biology. The research shows that, ...
Visual attention and perception represent central processes in human cognition, enabling the selective processing of relevant visual input while filtering extraneous information. This capacity ...
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 ...
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 new review proposes that categorization is a predictive brain function that prepares action before perception. Drawing on ...
Where does imagination come from? A new fMRI study in Neuron reveals that mental imagery emerges from the brain's association ...
How does the brain categorize objects? Scientists reveal that categorization is a predictive process where the brain prepares an action plan before perceiving a stimulus.
The concept that cognitive health can be preserved or improved is often expressed as "use it or lose it." Numerous modifiable risk factors are associated with "losing" cognitive abilities with age and ...
Getting older comes with its fair share of worries, and for many people, keeping their mind sharp sits near the top of the ...
