A series of recent brain-imaging studies has begun to explain a central mystery of the psychedelic experience: why people on psilocybin report that memories seem to blend with what they are actually ...

A growing body of neuroimaging research is pinpointing exactly how psychedelic drugs hijack the brain’s visual system to ...

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 ...

We may not realize it, but our eyes constantly make rapid movements—two to three per second—even when we're looking at the same spot. Yet despite these frequent eye movements, we still perceive what ...

Specific rhythms of flickering light can synchronise brain activity, offering clues about perception and possible future ...

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 ...

For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

You hear a phone ring or a dog bark. Is it yours or someone else's? You hear footsteps in the night - is it your child, or an intruder? Friend or foe? The decision you make will determine what action ...

A new study reveals that your heart rate slows down more when you make a visual mistake than when you see things correctly. This suggests our bodies physically react to perceptual errors in real-time.

New research from Dartmouth College shows that hearing about others’ experiences can change how people feel pain, effort, and ...

A tiny region in the brain works like a reset button that separates memory of one meaningful event from the next. Without this reset mechanism, moments could blur together and lead to the kinds of ...
