Perceptual learning and visual cognition constitute an interdisciplinary field that investigates the brain’s remarkable capacity to refine visual processing through experience. By examining how ...

Constant training improves the capacities of human perception. Just as years of practice hone the senses of smell and taste of sommeliers, for example, so too are experienced radiologists able to spot ...

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, ...

"We don't yet know how this variation in visual temporal resolution might affect our day-to-day lives, but we believe that individual differences in perception speed might become apparent in ...

Motion perception plays a fundamental role in our daily visual experience; it is critical for computing the speed and direction of moving objects and controlling our own body and eye movements. Motion ...

Audio cues can not only help us to recognize objects more quickly but can even alter our visual perception. That is, pair birdsong with a bird and we see a bird -- but replace that birdsong with a ...

For the first time, neuroscientists have established a link between shifts in our visual perception and the cadence of our steps while walking. The research, published in Nature Communications, shows ...

Abstract＞Researchers from the Cognitive Neurotechnology Unit, Vision and Action Laboratory, and Visual Perception and Cognition Laboratory in the ...

Misophonia is a condition in which people experience intense, negative physical and emotional reactions to certain trigger sounds. Trigger sounds often include everyday orofacial sounds, like chewing, ...

Odors seem to impact our visual perception of colors, adjusting our perception of a ‘neutral’ color. A recent study first authored by Ryann Ward of Liverpool John Moores University (UK), has revealed ...
