A new neuroscience study suggests that expert birdwatchers may develop structural brain changes linked to attention, perception, and cognitive health.

Our eyes alone do not provide us with a continuous and stable view of the world. They jump several times each second in rapid movements called saccades. Because the eye projects the world onto the ...

Researchers use afterimages to prove the brain predicts eye movements with 94% accuracy, revealing the internal "efference copy" mechanism that keeps our vision stable.

A new study in expert birders suggests that becoming an expert in a given field could help slow down cognitive decline.

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 ...

Scientists discovered that experienced meditators also exhibit higher activity in the gamma frequency range, which is associated with attention, perception and higher cognitive processing.

Every time the human eye darts from one point to another, the retinal image smears across the visual field. These rapid jumps, called saccades, happen several times per second, yet the world never ...

Perceiving whether another person is a personal health risk requires quickly assessing their trustworthiness. With limited characteristics available, implicit assumptions often influence risk ...

As a person ages, perception declines, accompanied by augmented brain activity. Learning and training may ameliorate age-related degradation of perception, but age-related brain changes cannot be ...
