Just as cartographers have created manageable maps of our planet and enabled travel and development, our brain maps our diverse sensory inputs to our credit-card sized cerebral cortex to enable ...

Every day, companies, products and media are competing for consumer's attention. We give it away constantly, often without realizing it. While attention is intangible and difficult to quantify, once ...

Today, flickering full-field visual stimulation is used to increase neuronal oscillations for a variety of research or therapeutic purposes. We propose spatially organized sequential visual flickering ...

New research from Washington University in St. Louis reveals that neurons in the visual cortex - the part of the brain that processes visual stimuli - change their responses to the same stimulus over ...

Affective traits, including extraversion and emotion regulation, are important considerations in clinical psychology due to their associations with the occurrence of affective disorders. Previously, ...

In mammals, the perception of visual stimuli is supported by the coordinated activity of thousands of neurons in different brain regions. The images perceived by the eyes are represented in the brain, ...

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, ...

Researchers show that brain organoids -- clumps of lab-grown neurons -- can integrate with rat brains and respond to visual stimulation like flashing lights. In a study publishing in the journal Cell ...

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 ...

When humans are awake, they are typically aware of specific sounds, movements, objects and other stimuli in their surroundings. Most of these are stimuli that they can see, hear or perceive with any ...

For more than 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same function are grouped into columns. Now, for the first time, researchers at the Max Planck ...
