Study reveals caffeine may be a useful tool to study information and cognitive processing. Read More
Using flashes of light, researchers 'read' and 'write' neural signals, a new study reports. Read More
If you're playing video games to help kill time during social distancing, you might be improving your visual attention abilities. Researchers found experienced gamers have faster information processing abilities and can allocate more cognitive power to individual visual stimuli. Playing video games can cause long-term changes in the brain and lead to improvements in temporal visual selective attention. Read More
In noisy environments, the right ear leads the way for optimal auditory information processing, researchers report. Read More
When people were warned about the inaccuracy of retelling events, they were less susceptible to misinformation. Providing warnings increased reinstatement of visual activity associated with witnessing an event and decreased the reinstatement of auditory activity associated with hearing misleading post-event information.

Researchers investigate how brain networks fragment while under a variety of unconscious states. Read More
A new study questions standing theories on how the brain absorbs and processes information. Read More
A new study sheds light on how the brain is able to process information at lightening speed. Read More
An individual's level of general knowledge is associated with structural brain network connectivity. Fluid intelligence is best predicted by cortex volume in males, and by functional network connectivity in females. Read More
A new study unites cognitive science and information theory, reporting our brains are structured to make the best possible decisions given their limited resources. Read More
To accurately perceive another person, your neural representation of that person has to match the pattern in the persons' brain when they think about themselves. Read More
Researchers report we may see similarities between different languages as a result of the brain's preference for efficient information processing. Read More
