Scientists have developed a new machine learning method that reveals surprisingly consistent intrinsic brain patterns across different subjects by disentangling these patterns from the effect of ...

New research reveals a distinct brain activity signature in children who become overwhelmed by sensory input such as noise, ...

In the search for a way to measure different forms of a condition called sensory processing disorder, neuroscientists are ...

Humans have long wondered when and how we begin to form thoughts. Are we born with a pre-configured brain, or do thought ...

A study published in Nature provides insight into how the brain processes sensory information from the internal organs. Researchers at Harvard Medical School used high-resolution imaging to identify ...

A UCSF study using fMRI revealed distinct brain network activity in children with sensory over-responsivity. These children ...

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 ...

New research shows that the brain separates “what an odor is” from “how it feels,” with each processed at distinct times.

A team of neuroscientists at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology led by Baher Ibrahim and Dr. Daniel Llano published a study in eLife that furthers our understanding of how the ...

Discover how scientists have finally found an answer for why we flinch when watching someone get hurt in a movie.

Most of us think little of why we feel pleasantly full after eating a big holiday meal, why we start to cough after accidentally inhaling campfire smoke, or why we are hit with sudden nausea after ...
