New research suggests intelligence arises not from a single brain region, but from how networks across the brain work together as an integrated system. Neuroscientists often describe the brain as a ...

The results revealed that the speed of alpha brain waves in the parietal cortex plays a key role. This region of the brain processes sensory input from the body. The frequency of these alpha waves ...

A new study reveals that alpha brain waves help the brain decide what belongs to your body. Faster rhythms allow the brain to match sight and touch more precisely, strengthening the feeling that a ...

When pain strikes from multiple sources—such as a paper cut followed by contact with hot water—the experience can feel disproportionately intense. But is this agony merely additive, or does the brain ...

As a person ages, perception declines, accompanied by augmented brain activity. Learning and training may ameliorate age-related degradation of perception, but age-related brain changes cannot be ...

Inside the Visual Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory at ASU, researchers investigate how the brain turns sensory signals into meaningful perception. Led by Professor Gi-Yeul Bae at the Department of ...

Whether it is dancing or just tapping one foot to the beat, we all experience how auditory signals like music can induce movement. Now new research suggests that motor signals in the brain actually ...

Evoked responses to the congruent and incongruent target words 'cheap' or 'expensive' in the price judgment task (A–C) and the semantic task (D). The graph shows responses to the target words ...

A new advanced imaging study led by scientists from the Centre for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London (ICL), has looked at what happens in people's brains when they take the potent ...

Anxiety’s impact on the brain has been carefully documented by research: It can cause fluctuations in neurotransmitters, change activity in different regions of the brain, and, according to new ...
