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

Tripping on psychedelics is hard to describe to someone who’s never been through the experience. Every psychedelic trip is ...

Fast-moving animals process visual information at higher speeds, reshaping how they hunt, escape predators, and experience time.

The trial-to-trial variability of neuronal responses and the correlated response variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size in a manner that depends on cortical layer, suggesting ...

Animals don't just see the world differently from one another, they experience time itself at dramatically different speeds.

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 ...

For decades, scientists assumed that sophisticated visual abilities were largely unique to mammals. They believed that only large, folded cerebral cortices could reliably detect and interpret ...

Visual-spatial processing is considered to be the core pillar of human cognition as it effects how we perceive, represent, manipulate, and act within space (Carrasco, 2018; Lecce et al.; Trés and ...

Summary: Watching someone experience pain on screen activates your own brain’s touch-processing system in a highly organized, body-specific way. Visual regions of the brain contain hidden maps of the ...

Scientists at EPFL have developed an innovative, non-invasive brain stimulation therapy to significantly improve visual function in stroke patients who have suffered vision loss following a stroke.

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, ...
