How the Brain Decodes Speech: Special Neurons Process Specific Sounds

Neuroscience, Science /

Delicate probes, as thin as wires, inserted into the brains of living individuals reveal the functions performed by individual neurons. An unparalleled degree of insight into how humans comprehend speech has been made possible by recordings from hundreds of individual neurons while patients undergoing brain surgery listened to this and 199 other sentences. The findings

Sleep Boosts Memory but Can also Implant False Memories

Neuroscience, Science /

A group of psychologists from the University of York in the U.K. has discovered through experiments that sleeping after studying can solidify memories. However, as outlined in their publication in the journal Royal Society Open Science, sleep can also occasionally result in the formation of false memories. Recent research has highlighted the fallibility of human

The Impact of Sensory Deprivation on the Human Brain

Applied Science, Neuroscience, Science /

In the quiet corners of Minnesota lies a room that has baffled those who dare to enter for more than 45 minutes. Orfield Laboratories in Minneapolis boasts the Guinness World Record for the quietest place on Earth—the anechoic chamber. Despite its initial appeal as a haven of tranquility, no one has endured its silence for

Scientists Aid in Uncovering the Neural Mechanisms of Vision

Neuroscience, Science /

When confronted with images that deviate from anticipated patterns, such as encountering a “do not enter” sign instead of the expected stop sign, how does the brain respond and adapt in contrast to exposure to images that align with predictions? A team, including researchers from York University, embarked on a quest to address a fundamental
