Neuroscience has proven that our brains has a hidden "sixth sense" that helps us to adapt to seeing the world without sight ...

It may seem remarkable, but significant evidence shows that humans could learn this sound-based “superpower” with some practice.

There’s a lot to love about brains. They are arguably the most complex organ in the entire human body. 86 billion neurons send electrical and chemical signals back and forth within your brain to ...

Scientists still don’t know how the brain turns physical activity into thoughts, feelings, and awareness—but a powerful new tool may help crack the mystery. Researchers at MIT are exploring ...

That sharp flinch during a violent movie scene is familiar to many people. A hand slams, a body falls, and your own muscles ...

The brain’s hemispheres are specialized for efficiency. Modern neuroscience shows lateralization enhances function without dividing the mind.

Learn how our brains store images that help us achieve flashes of insight when looking at seemingly incomprehensible visual tests.

When pain strikes from multiple sources—such as a paper cut followed by contact with hot water—the experience can feel disproportionately intense. But is this agony merely additive, or does the brain ...

What is it when intelligence ceases to be something that a person is born with and is something that a person plugs? The singularity has been used since decades as a form of cultural stress-test: a ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...
