The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...
Your feet can send a lot of sensory information to your brain. But whether you believe that your footwear is affecting your ...
Our body movements profoundly impact how our brain processes sensory information. Historically, it was believed that the brain's primary motor cortex played a key role in modulating sensory ...
When an animal takes notice of an approaching figure, it needs to determine what it is, and quickly. In nature, competition and survival dictate that it’s better to think fast—that is, for the brain ...
A new study reveals that the frequency of alpha waves in the parietal cortex influences how we perceive body ownership, ...
You hear a phone ring or a dog bark. Is it yours or someone else's? You hear footsteps in the night - is it your child, or an intruder? Friend or foe? The decision you make will determine what action ...
Understanding how the brain creates conscious experience remains one of science’s most difficult challenges. Brain scans and ...

Brain Waves Control How Your Body Feels Like ‘Yours,’ Study Finds
In A Nutshell Alpha brain waves cycling at 8-13 times per second determine how wide your “temporal binding window,” or the time gap your brain tolerates between seeing and feeling a touch while still ...
A new study showcases how brain waves known as alpha oscillations help us distinguish between ourselves and the outside world ...
Utilizing optogenetics, researchers at Fujita Health University have selectively deactivated neural pathways with light, revealing new insights into how sensory and motor areas of the mouse brain ...
