The findings differ from prior work, showing it's tough to disentangle how similarly our brains register imagined thoughts ...

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, ...

Human echolocation refers to the remarkable ability of some individuals to utilise self-generated sounds – typically mouth clicks – and interpret the returning echoes to derive detailed spatial ...

Does the deaf brain "see" with its ears? New research shows the auditory cortex maps visual space through selective ...

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 ...

We tend to think of our five senses (vision, audition, smell, taste, and touch) as separate processes occurring independently within the brain and body. But, ever since the landmark studies on ...

Three decades of psychological research show that our visual and auditory senses work together. Famously, an experiment by Robert Sekuler (1997) found that the presence or absence of a clicking sound ...

Detection decisions (red for absence, blue for presence) are based on the disjunctive integration rule (disjunction and negation of disjunction). Confidence decisions (dashed line for not sure, full ...

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 ...
