Modern neuroscience understands the brain as a set of specialized systems. Aspects of brain function such as attention, perception, memory, language, and thought have been mapped onto distinct brain ...

The results revealed that the speed of alpha brain waves in the parietal cortex plays a key role. This region of the brain processes sensory input from the body. The frequency of these alpha waves ...

Consciousness is one of the most enigmatic phenomena in neuroscience, but a new scientific perspective offers a different ...

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 ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

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 ...

Researchers from UZH have discovered how the perception of meaning changes in the brain under the influence of LSD. The serotonin 2A receptors are responsible for altered perception. This finding will ...
