Researchers from the University of Konstanz have studied how insect brains take in complex light stimuli and process them in ...

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, ...

For example, activity of neurons in the cerebral cortex may increase by 10-25% when a subject pays attention to the stimuli those neurons represent. Previous research has shown that LC activation, ...

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 ...

Our brains begin to create internal representations of the world around us from the first moment we open our eyes. We perceptually assemble components of scenes into recognizable objects thanks to ...

One of the questions I’m frequently asked is, “How do visual triggers relate to misophonia?” While it’s an excellent question, the unfortunate truth is that we don’t yet have a definitive answer. In ...

The study reveals that children with potential autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show a significant preference for predictable visual stimuli, spending more time observing them than typically developing ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...
