A new study brings understanding how the brain processes information one step closer.
Self-perception becomes blurrier over time, the further away you get from the present, researchers report.
When the perception of bodily self-consciousness is distorted, the recovery of body ownership can be predicted by different kinds of memories.
Neurons in deep layers of the brain's cortex are the first to decipher which side of a visual border is an object and which side is the background.
A new AI algorithm recognizes the complex range of emotions invoked when people listen to pieces of music.
Memory errors may indicate a way in which the human cognitive system is optimally running, researchers say.
Researchers have devised a method to access people's mental images of themselves and compare this mental image against a realistic image of the person. The study revealed people's mental images of themselves are not necessarily true to life, but are influenced by the kind of personality the individual believes themselves to have.
Researchers shed light on how sensory information and cognitive processing interact in the brain to produce our perception of the world around us.

The older an adult believes a Black child to be, the more likely they are to believe the child is exhibiting angry emotions, even when they are not. The same emotional perception shift does not occur when an adult sees an image of a white child.
