Oscillations of activity observed in the brain could have a role in resetting the sensitivity of neurons after eye movements. Further results suggest these waves could also have a role in supporting ...

An important function of our vision is to segregate relevant figures from the irrelevant background. When we look at a visual stimulus, it drives a cascade of neural activity from low-level to higher ...

Rhythmic waves of brain activity cause us to see or not see complex images that flash before our eyes. An image can become practically invisible if it flashes before our eyes at the same time as a low ...

We don’t just react emotionally to what we see. What we see is shaped by what we feel, a new study suggests. When looking at faces displaying fearful expressions, people with intact brains or with ...

In a recent study published in Communications Biology, researchers from Hong Kong, Singapore, and Germany used high-resolution brain imaging to show that psychedelics may redirect visual processing ...

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, ...

New research shows how psychedelics alter visual processing and boost memory-linked brain circuits to generate hallucinations, revealing mechanisms with therapeutic implications.
