In A Nutshell Researchers used a light-based brain imaging technique in mice to watch, in real time, what happens in the ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Research findings reinforce new approaches in psychology, using psychedelic substances under medical supervision to treat certain clinical conditions. Psychedelic substances are increasingly being ...

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 ...

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 ...

PhD Candidate, School of Psychological Sciences, The University of Melbourne Most of the time, our brains are very good at blending together input from all our senses into a seamless, unified ...

Learn how our brains store images that help us achieve flashes of insight when looking at seemingly incomprehensible visual tests. The human brain works in mysterious ways, especially when it comes to ...
