Consciousness is one of the most enigmatic phenomena in neuroscience, but a new scientific perspective offers a different explanation for how it forms inside the brain, linking memory ...
Sensory illusions reveal how the brain creates coherence when signals don’t align. In autism and ADHD, perception often ...
Scientists still don’t know how the brain turns physical activity into thoughts, feelings, and awareness—but a powerful new tool may help crack the mystery. Researchers at MIT are exploring ...
Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...
Scientists from Boston University, Queensland University of Technology, and the University of Toronto are advancing a shared idea about how the mind works. They argue that the same brain systems used ...
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 ...
New research suggests intelligence arises not from a single brain region, but from how networks across the brain work together as an integrated system. Neuroscientists often describe the brain as a ...
Shading brings 3D forms to life, beautifully carving out the shape of objects around us. Despite the importance of shading for perception, scientists have long been puzzled about how the brain ...
Horses are beautiful, but—hippos are ugly. Why? Why does the human mind see beauty in some images and ugliness in others? Is the perception of beauty intrinsic to how the brain processes visual ...
New research suggests pain is not a simple signal of injury but a process that unfolds across nerves, spinal cord, and brain.
