Study reveals individual differences in how we perceive and imagine visual images we have seen.
Researchers discuss different current neural network models and consider the steps that need to be taken to make them more realistic, and thus more useful, as possible.
Virtual reality can help reduce painful sensations following touch people with nerve damage experience.
Neuroimaging and computational neuroscience studies reveal different ways and brain areas implicated in decision making.
Results show the blood-pressure-lowering effects of exercise were diminished by more than 60% over the first hour of recovery, and completely absent two hours post-exercise in those who used antibacterial mouthwash.
Spending time in nature can help reduce the strength and frequency of cravings.
A new study in fruit fly models reveals STRIPAK components act as a switch to turn off quiescence and turn on the reactivation of neural stem cells.
Current fMRI tests designed to detect deception by looking at specific areas of the brain may be vulnerable to mental countermeasures. In order to improve reliability, researchers call for whole brain analysis, rather than just examining brain regions of interest.
A study of macaque monkeys reveals low-intensity ultrasound can both generate and suppress signalling in the brain and modulate normal function. The ultrasonic stimulation alters counterfactual thinking, allowing the ability to decide upon a better alternative in decision-making tasks.
Researchers shed light on how we are able to effectively form mental images of how objects look to other people.
A new study reports social robots may be good counselors. Researchers say the NAO robot is able to provide a helpful motivational interview, a technique used by counselors to support behavior change.
The force by which a person embarks upon a utilitarian act may be predicted by psychopathic traits, a new study reports.
