Fitting musicians with motion capture sensors and applying mathematical techniques, researchers discover how musicians communicate non-verbally while performing different pieces of music.
A new study reports when we retrieve information about visual objects, the brain first focuses on the core meaning and afterwards recalls specific details.
Researchers used Nash equilibrium game theory and adaptive control to program a robot that can better understand its human user's behavior. This allows the robot to anticipate and respond to the human's movements.
Researchers report UroA, a microbial metabolite derived from a compound found in pomegranates and berries, can reduce and protect against inflammatory bowel disease.
A new study reports prenatal exposure to common antidepressants and antipsychotics does not increase the risk of a child developing autism.
Researchers have identified four new genes that act independently as risk factors for multiple sclerosis.
Human dendrites have different electrical properties from those of other species, a new study reveals. Researchers report electrical signals weaken more as they flow along human dendrites, allowing small sections of dendrites to behave independently from the rest of the neuron.
A new computational model sheds light on how personal brain structure can influence our cognitive performance on language based tasks.
Researchers report abnormalities in brainwave activity could be a common link between depression, Parkinson's disease, tinnitus and neuropathic pain.
A new study sheds light on the role striosomal neurons play in reinforcement learning.
A new fruit fly study reveals how learned auditory cues can alter mating behavior and sexual preference.
Manageable levels of anxiety can help people to better recall details of events, researchers report.
