Kaboom! The first time most of us hear the sound of an explosion is in the movies. Encountering the sound in the real ...
The human brain filters trillions of sensory inputs down to just 10 bits per second, a cognitive bottleneck shaped by ...
In the well-known thought experiment known as the prisoner's dilemma, one individual has to decide whether to stay silent or ...
Thermal sensations are consciously differentiated as hot or cold by the brain; however, the neural mechanism that enables this differentiation is not well understood. To address this, researchers have ...
New research reveals how the brain rapidly adapts to sensory changes using a feedback loop between the olfactory cortex and the olfactory bulb.
Each time a person undergoes stress the brain releases cortisol hormones. Cortisol binds to glucocorticoid receptors and tells the body to prepare its “fight-or-flight” response. This hormone also ...
In anterior regions, such as the frontal cortex, space and time are processed independently, with distinct neural populations ...
The brain processes space and time differently across regions, revealing a functional hierarchy in perception.
Researchers at Waseda University used EEG to map brain activity during thermal perception, identifying ten cortical regions ...
Research has found that almost 48 per cent of British teens are addicted to social media. Neuroscientists explain what ...
By leveraging neuroplasticity and surrounding ourselves with positivity, we can transform our neural pathways and create a happier, healthier mindset’ O ...
