The study of visual illusions in animals provides a compelling window into both the evolutionary continuity and diversity of perceptual processes. Research indicates that many species, from domestic ...

New artificial intelligence-generated images that appear to be one thing, but something else entirely when rotated, are helping scientists test the human mind. The work by Johns Hopkins University ...

Why does the brain split visual spatial perception between its hemispheres? A new review by neuroscientists examines the advantages and trade-offs, and how the brain ultimately makes vision feel ...

To what extent has Earth’s gravity shaped our cognitive and brain functions? Utilizing spaceflight and a ground-based analog, a new study shows that the human brain relies on bodily gravitational ...

Sounds can alter the way the brain interprets what it sees. This is the key finding of a new study by SISSA researchers in Trieste, published in PLOS Computational Biology. The research shows that, ...

For the first time, neuroscientists have established a link between shifts in our visual perception and the cadence of our steps while walking. The research, published in Nature Communications, shows ...
