The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a network of neural connections. But how are these signals adjusted to refine our perceptions? A team from the University of Geneva ...

Signals are processed only if they reach the brain during brief receptive cycles. This timing mechanism explains how attention filters information and may inform therapies and brain-inspired ...

It has long been known that the brain preferentially processes information that we focus our attention on—a classic example is the so-called cocktail party effect. "In an environment full of voices, ...

Sometimes a gentle touch feels sharp and distinct, other times it fades into the background. This inconsistency isn’t just mood—it’s biology. Scientists found that the thalamus doesn’t just relay ...

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 ...

Aug. 29 -- While it is well documented that females and males of many species can communicate through chemical signals called pheromones, there has remained some question as to whether humans can ...
