Sensory overload is often about uncertainty and how long the brain has to stay engaged—especially in autism and ADHD.
Neuroscientists have artificially increased neuronal activity in part of the brain by briefly shining light on genetically modified neurons. They saw that this manipulation selectively enhanced ...
Faced with images that break the expected pattern, like a do not enter sign where a stop sign is expected, how does the brain react and learn compared to being shown images which match what was ...
Meike Scheller's work has been carried out at the University of Bath with support from the University, the British Academy, and the NIHR. Many new, cutting-edge developments that “cure blindness” ...
