Human perception of 3D space has been investigated extensively, but there are conflicting reports regarding its distortions. A possible solution to these discrepancies is that 3D perception is in fact ...

Electric fields (EFs) are already an integral part of our everyday life. Nevertheless, the human perception of EFs has been investigated in only a few studies so far. However, it has been clearly ...

Beijing Normal University-led researchers have identified specific high-order thalamic nuclei that drive human conscious perception by activating the prefrontal cortex. Their findings enhance ...

Using direct, intracranial brain recordings in humans, a new study finds that the thalamus, a small region located deep within the brain, plays a pivotal role in conscious perception. According to the ...

To what extent has Earth’s gravity shaped our cognitive and brain functions? Utilizing spaceflight and a ground-based analog, a new study shows that the human brain relies on bodily gravitational ...

Are we living in a flatland? Or perhaps, are we bound in a cube of perception with impermeable spatial walls of length, width, and height—like a mime stuck in an imaginary cube? Let's take it slowly ...

Researchers in the US have finally completed the missing mathematical pieces of theoretical physicist Erwin Schrödinger’s century-old color theory, based on his geometric model describing how humans ...

Traditionally, perception and cognition have been considered distinct domains of psychological science. Perception was understood to be the raw data collector—our sensory touchpoint with the external ...
