          Visual Recognition Memory: Familiarity Decoded by Brief Spikes

          Decoding the brain's knack for distinguishing new from familiar is a challenge that has puzzled scientists. New research brings clarity to "visual recognition memory" (VRM), the process that ensures we prioritize what's most important in what we see.

          From Vinyl to Visions: Fruit Flies Showcase Decision-Making Prowess

          Using a comparison to vinyl record collectors, researchers delve into the concept of matching—a behavior where decisions are based on reward expectations—observed from pigeons to humans. In a recent study, the team found that fruit flies also demonstrate this behavior, deciding based on their reward predictions.

          Unlocking Aphantasia – The Mysterious Spectrum of Mind’s Visualization

          Visualization abilities range from hyperphantasia, where individuals can create vivid mental images, to aphantasia, where people experience a complete absence of visual imagery. A study assessed the link between perception and mental imagery in individuals across this spectrum.

          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.

          Researchers discovered a unique connection between eye movements and decision-making, even when the eyes are not directly involved in the decision process. The study contradicts the common belief that motor movements like eye or hand movements aren't affected by decision-making activities.
