Study finds how brain perceives indistinct familiar objects
The appearance of objects can often change. For example, in dim evenings or fog, the contrast of the objects decreases, making it difficult to distinguish them
Research team makes advance in brain-inspired computing
In the brain, randomness played an important role in human thought or computation
Household works can lead to sharper memory
A new study has found that older adults who do household works may have a sharper memory, attention span, better leg strength and greater protection against falls
Common link found between electrical tremors and mental health disorders
The investigators propose that this research has the potential to improve diagnostics and help shape future treatments
Dreaming phase matters for brain refreshing: Study
A Tsukuba-led team used a technique to directly visualise the movement of red blood cells in the brain capillaries (where nutrients and waste products are exchanged between brain cells and blood) of ...
