Functional magnetic resonance imaging is a non-invasive way to explore brain activity. Reading a person’s mind using a recording of their brain activity sounds futuristic, but it’s now one step closer ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development ...

People with aphantasia—individuals who report experiencing no visual imagery at all—also showed reduced activation of the brain's visual cortex in response to sounds, according to a new study. The ...

Researchers at Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders (NERF), led by Prof. Vincent Bonin, have published two new studies uncovering how visual information is processed and distributed in the brain. The ...

A new MIT study finds that somatostatin-expressing neurons follow a unique trajectory when forming connections in the brain’s ...

A new study reveals that alpha brain waves help the brain decide what belongs to your body. Faster rhythms allow the brain to match sight and touch more precisely, strengthening the feeling that a ...

New research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) finds that prolonged and/or repeated exposure to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) anesthetic agents (sevoflurane, ...

Brain-wide map showing 75,000 analysed neurons lighting up during different stages of decision-making. At the beginning of the trial, the activity is quiet. Then it builds up in the visual areas at ...

Reading a person’s mind using a recording of their brain activity sounds futuristic, but it’s now one step closer to reality. A new technique called ‘mind captioning’ generates descriptive sentences ...
