A single clear image can rewire the visual brain, making later recognition faster without relying on memory systems.
Despite decades of research, the mechanisms behind fast flashes of insight that change how a person perceives their world, termed "one-shot learning," have remained unknown. A mysterious type of ...
New research shows how psychedelics alter visual processing and boost memory-linked brain circuits to generate hallucinations, revealing mechanisms with therapeutic implications.
New artificial intelligence-generated images that appear to be one thing, but something else entirely when rotated, are helping scientists test the human mind. The work by Johns Hopkins University ...

Our brain plays with our perceptions
The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a network of neural connections. But how are these signals adjusted to refine our perceptions? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...

PhD Candidate, School of Psychological Sciences, The University of Melbourne Most of the time, our brains are very good at blending together input from all our senses into a seamless, unified ...
Scientists have long known that when sounds are faint or objects are seen through fog in the distance, repetition of these weak or ambiguous sensory “inputs” can result in different perceptions inside ...
Our vision is amazing. We can judge distances, recognise objects, navigate rugged terrain, catch a frisbee, and so much more based on slight differences in the light that enters our eyes. Decoding all ...
