Neurons that track which direction an animal faces can hold their firing patterns steady for months, even as other brain cells tied to spatial memory shift and rearrange. That finding, drawn from long ...

Scientists find vision slightly lags behind eye movement, revealing how the brain predicts motion to keep the world stable.

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

Why do our mental images stay sharp even when we are moving fast? A team of neuroscientists led by Professor Maximilian Jösch at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) has identified a ...

Imagine a ball bouncing down a flight of stairs. Now think about a cascade of water flowing down those same stairs. The ball and the water behave very differently, and it turns out that your brain has ...

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

Accessing the brain for neurosurgery involves drilling and cutting that can cause deep-brain anatomy to shift or become distorted. This can create discrepancies between pre-operative imaging and the ...

My last article focused, oddly enough…on focus—namely, how to help gifted students who are easily distracted by outside stimuli. Those of you with easily distracted students or children of your own ...

Summary: It’s a common reflex: to hear a faint sound better, we squeeze our eyes shut. However, new research suggests this strategy actually backfires in noisy environments. By monitoring brain ...
