Neuroscientists uncover how the visual cortex builds consensus, rapidly weeding out conflicting sensory signals to form unified perceptions.

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, ...

A new computational model shows how cortical feedback slashes neural chaos by 93%, explaining how our vision stays stable despite fluctuating brain activity.

The coronavirus pandemic has shifted many of our interactions online, with Zoom video calls replacing in-person classes, work meetings, conferences and other events. Will all that screen time damage ...

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 ...

Uncover the latest and most impactful research in Perceptual-Cognitive Skill Development in Sports Performance. Explore pioneering discoveries, insightful ideas and new methods from leading ...

Constant training improves the capacities of human perception. Just as years of practice hone the senses of smell and taste of sommeliers, for example, so too are experienced radiologists able to spot ...

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 ...

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 ...

Past research has suggested that people's cultural differences may result in differences in basic visual perception. New research found no evidence that these differences play a significant role in ...

Past research has suggested that people’s cultural differences may result in differences in basic visual perception. New UCLA research found no evidence that these differences play a significant role ...
