A growing body of neuroimaging research is pinpointing exactly how psychedelic drugs hijack the brain’s visual system to produce vivid hallucinations, even when a person’s eyes are closed. Studies ...

Specific rhythms of flickering light can synchronise brain activity, offering clues about perception and possible future ...

A new study reveals that your heart rate slows down more when you make a visual mistake than when you see things correctly. This suggests our bodies physically react to perceptual errors in real-time.

The researchers detected a specific delay of about 18 milliseconds between the waves in the visual cortex and the ...

Researchers challenge the "efficiency" theory of the brain, showing that neurons become more coordinated and share more information as learning occurs.

Researchers identify that the brain's sensory checkpoint (TRN) undergoes a molecular "upgrade" in adulthood for high-resolution perception.

A new University of Rochester study could reshape how scientists think about perception, learning disorders, and artificial ...

The dominant theory in neuroscience has been that the sensory processing circuits in our brain are finalized in early ...

A few minutes beside trees or water can shift the brain into a calmer state. That change is not just a feeling.
