For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

Researchers challenge the "efficiency" theory of the brain, showing that neurons become more coordinated and share more information as learning occurs.

Explore the parallels and differences between AI architectures and the human brain's design and functionality in processing ...

Specific rhythms of flickering light can synchronise brain activity, offering clues about perception and possible future ...

Modern neuroscience often describes the brain as a collection of specialized systems. Functions such as attention, perception, memory, language, and ...

A new study reveals that your heart rate slows down more when you make a visual mistake than when you see things correctly. This suggests our bodies physically react to perceptual errors in real-time.

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 ...

In a massive scientific effort, hundreds of researchers have helped to map the connections between hundreds of thousands of neurons in the mouse brain and then overlayed their firing patterns in ...

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 ...
