Can you picture an apple in your mind? Do you know some people cannot do that? Let's explore the hidden diversity of inner ...

Researchers have mapped out the neural pathway that humans use to perceive cool temperatures and found that it's separate ...

Your ears, skin, and nose also receive an overwhelming influx of sensory input. Yet, at the level of conscious thought and action, humans operate at a glacial 10 bits per second.

While many networks tend to favor certain types of connections, the DMN distributed its output evenly across all levels of the brain’s processing hierarchy—from low-level sensory areas to high ...

When a synesthete looks at numbers and sees colors, both their number-processing regions and color-processing regions light up simultaneously. Most researchers believe synesthesia has genetic roots.

1 out of 3 people have sensory processing sensitivity: they take in more information and process it more deeply to produce unique insights and high performance. Now new research finds their brains ...

But in the 1990s, neuroimaging studies revealed that parts of the brain that were thought to be active only during sensory perception are also active during the recall of memories.

This subconscious mechanism enables us to immediately send motor signals to our eyes, ears, nose and hands to enhance our perception of the sensory information that we are interested in.
