Using a blink-and-you'll-miss-it experiment, researchers from Trinity College Dublin have discovered that individuals differ widely in the rate at which they perceive visual signals. Some people ...

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, ...

Recent theoretical and empirical work on predictive processing and brain plasticity may help explain both the onset of and ...

Researchers from the Cognitive Neurotechnology Unit, Vision and Action Laboratory, and Visual Perception and Cognition ...

Audio cues can not only help us to recognize objects more quickly but can even alter our visual perception. That is, pair birdsong with a bird and we see a bird -- but replace that birdsong with a ...

To what extent has Earth’s gravity shaped our cognitive and brain functions? Utilizing spaceflight and a ground-based analog, a new study shows that the human brain relies on bodily gravitational ...

Blinking is one of the most frequent human activities, typically occurring every two to 10 seconds or about 10 blinks per minute. It has long been understood that blinking has protective effects for ...

For the first time, neuroscientists have established a link between shifts in our visual perception and the cadence of our steps while walking. The research, published in Nature Communications, shows ...

Odors seem to impact our visual perception of colors, adjusting our perception of a ‘neutral’ color. A recent study first authored by Ryann Ward of Liverpool John Moores University (UK), has revealed ...
