Studies of lucid dreamers visualise which centers of the brain become active when we become aware of ourselves. Studies demonstrate that a specific cortical network consisting of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the frontopolar regions and the precuneus is activated when this lucid consciousness is attained.
Researchers suggest increased clumsiness in older adults might be caused by changes in the mental frame of reference used to visualize nearby objects.
A new study finds the ability to accurately reflect on perceptual experiences and the ability to accurately reflect on memory is unconnected, suggesting we have distinct introspective skills.
A new neuroimaging study finds the brain's structure is related to how intensely people perceive pain.
MIT's Innerscope Research uses a range of neuroscience tools to explore the connections between media and the consumer.
Neuroimaging study isolates functional differences between autistic and non-autistic brains, researchers report.
Researchers focus on gray matter volume on three areas of the brain. Findings suggest cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity and diabetes could be early indicators for Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers have identified a novel neural network which processes incoming information based on whether it’s something we’ve experienced previously or not.
Older people who engage in regular physical activity have more intact white matter and have more variable brain activity than their less active peers, a new study reports.
A new study reports fMRI brain scans may help doctors to predict which of their patients in a coma will regain consciousness.
Researchers find the neurobiological root of happiness in the precuneus.
Researchers explore how the ability to control dreams may be a key to helping us better understand consciousness.
