A team of scientists has mapped out how our brains process visuals we don't even know we've seen, indicating that the neuronal encoding and maintenance of subliminal images is more substantial than previously thought.
"Our results indicate that what is...
The researchers could watch in a top-down view the 36 participants passing through a bottleneck during a simple evacuation situation. Each pedestrian was controlled by a real experimental participant who viewed the situation in a realstic way from the...
Large human genetics study finds loneliness is a heritable trait associated with neuroticism and depressive symptoms, but no one gene is responsible.
Loneliness is linked to poor physical and mental health, and is an even more accurate predictor of early...
The scans show that stimulation 'in beat' increases brain activity in the regions involved in task performance. On the other hand, stimulation 'out of beat' showed activity in regions usually associated with resting.Credit: Ines Violante

Spending too much time in dimly lit rooms and offices may actually change the brain's structure and hurt one's ability to remember and learn, indicates groundbreaking research by Michigan State University neuroscientists.
The researchers studied the brains of Nile grass...
Relentless cognitive decline as we age is worrisome, and it is widely thought to be an unavoidable negative aspect of normal aging. Researchers at the Center for BrainHealth at The University of Texas at Dallas, however, say their research...
Have you ever tried to solve a complicated maths problem by using your hands, or shaped a piece of clay without planning it out in your head first? Understanding how we think and make decisions by interacting with the...

New, functional brain cells replace those destroyed by stroke in animals. Here, cells are in various stages of maturity: immature cells are green, more mature cells are red and fully mature cells are orange. Credit: University of California, Los...
A new study by a Florida State University researcher shows that both a lack of stimulation in the workplace and a dirty working environment can have a long-term cognitive effect on employees.
"Psychologists say that the brain is a muscle,...
