Sounds can alter the way the brain interprets what it sees. This is the key finding of a new study by SISSA researchers in Trieste, published in PLOS Computational Biology. The research shows that, ...

Humans are highly accurate in their temporal judgements, yet their estimations could be susceptible to several biases. It is found that fear-evoking situations are associated with elevated orienting ...

People are immersed in perceptual space. It is challenging to imagine any naturalistic perceptual act abstracted from a spatial location, form or configuration of some kind. Indeed, there is a long ...

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 ...

Our brain seamlessly integrates visual and auditory information to create a coherent, synchronized perception of our environment. This is accomplished despite large differences in how quickly visual ...

Lip-read words can be decoded from the brain's auditory regions similarly to heard speech, according to a new University of Michigan report that looked at how vision supports verbal perception.

Close your eyes and imagine a sound, someone’s voice, coming from your left. It slowly shifts to come from behind you, then moves to your right. Around and around, it circles. Suddenly, the voice ...

One of the questions I’m frequently asked is, “How do visual triggers relate to misophonia?” While it’s an excellent question, the unfortunate truth is that we don’t yet have a definitive answer. In ...

The primary sense for humans is vision. We depend on it in every aspect of our lives, and it is pretty straightforward. Speech, on the other hand, is multimodal, meaning it relies on both auditory ...

Magic tricks make the impossible seem possible. Magicians have long captivated audiences with visual tricks, such as pulling a bunny from a hat or sawing someone in half, but tricks that rely on sound ...

On the jobsite, a healthy workforce is a safer, more efficient and more effective workforce. However, most preventative measures for workplace safety and health usually focus on reducing ...
