          Human Brain Acts Like Super Computer: Advanced Calculations in Human Perception

          Researchers have unearthed how human brains inherently perform calculations akin to high-powered computers through Bayesian inference, enabling precise, swift environmental interpretation. This statistical method melds prior knowledge and new evidence, permitting us to quickly and accurately discern our surroundings.

          Jersey Numbers and Perception: How Numbers Impact Our View of Athlete Physique

          A new study confirms that football wide receivers wearing jersey numbers between 10 and 19 are perceived as slimmer than those wearing 80-89, even with identical body sizes. This phenomenon suggests our brains use statistical associations between numbers and sizes to determine body size perception.

          The Brain’s Interplay of Consciousness and Perception

          Researchers have been studying hemispatial neglect, a condition where stroke patients fail to acknowledge what happens in the left side of their visual field, despite possessing intact visual abilities. In a quest to uncover the intricate relationship between attention and conscious perception, neurologists identified five clusters of brain activity linked to the processing of attention.

          Intentions Matter: How Source Intent Influences Perceptions of Truth

          Psychologists revealed people's judgments of truthfulness are influenced by what they perceive as the information source's intentions. They found that even when individuals knew the factual accuracy of a claim, their judgment of its truth was affected by whether they thought the source was trying to deceive or inform them.

          Heavy Drinkers Misjudge Impairment Levels: A Risky Perception

          Heavy drinkers' belief that they can 'hold their liquor' better than light drinkers has been challenged by a new study, revealing that this perceived tolerance may lead to risky decisions. The research showed that after consuming equivalent amounts of alcohol, heavy drinkers felt less impaired than their lighter-drinking counterparts.

          Perception is Not Only a Matter of Now: Our Past Influences What We See

          Our past experiences influence our current perceptions. The brain's visual bias merges past and present stimuli, resulting in a perception that is often a distorted representation of reality. This phenomenon, explored with the help of EEG signals, demonstrates that the occipital cortex retains traces of past images, intensifying perceptual bias. This research underlines the brain's role not only as a receptor but also a constructor of reality.

          Reality or Illusion? The Human Battle with Distinguishing Imagination from Reality

          The more vividly we imagine something, the more likely we are to believe it's real, a new study reports. Researchers found the brain encodes the vividness of perceived and real stimuli in a similar manner, resulting in a confusion between reality and imagination.
