New Baycrest research reveals that the brain remembers what we see and what we hear in different ways. Visual memories tend ...

A new discovery from Tel Aviv University may provide a key to a great scientific enigma: How does the awake brain transform sensory input into a conscious experience? The groundbreaking study relied ...

During sleep, the brain must achieve a delicate balance: disconnecting from sensory input to allow restorative functions, while remaining alert enough to wake if danger arises. How does it sort ...

Listening to nature sounds can quickly reduce stress, with neuroscience showing measurable benefits for calming the mind and ...

Researchers have found that the brain’s ability to hear and evaluate its own speech may matter more for learning new vocal ...

Sounds that we hear around us are defined physically by their frequency and amplitude. But for us, sounds have a meaning beyond those parameters: we may perceive them as pleasant or unpleasant, ...

A machine learning model has helped explain how the brain recognizes the meaning of communication sounds, such as animal calls or spoken words. The algorithm described in the study models how social ...

The unconscious brain appears to be far more capable than scientists once believed. Researchers found that patients under general anesthesia could still process language at a sophisticated level, ...

This is a rather odd post, I'm thinking. I'm working on this interactive peice, dealing with conciousness. I've been unable to think of what to use for the sounds, and it was suggested to me that I ...
