A single clear image can rewire the visual brain, making later recognition faster without relying on memory systems.

Memory and perception seem like entirely distinct experiences, and neuroscientists used to be confident that the brain produced them differently, too. But in the 1990s, neuroimaging studies revealed ...

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 ...

One of the hardest things I share with transitioning service members – who’ve spent a great deal of their life and career serving a purpose greater than themselves – is that in the civilian world, ...

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

Despite decades of research, the mechanisms behind fast flashes of insight that change how a person perceives their world, termed "one-shot learning," have remained unknown. A mysterious type of ...

A study conducted at the Universidad Europea de Madrid, Spain, finds that negative body image perceptions can potentially lead to poor physical and mental health outcomes in young adults engaged in ...
