New research from UC Santa Barbara shows that mind-wandering — those moments where our attention drifts away from a task at ...

In the first study of its kind, neuroscientists have shown the real-world benefits that sunlight gives the brain, beyond ...

Scientists have long known that the hippocampus is essential for forming new memories. It helps record where and when things happen. But how it processes what you see—like objects or images—has been a ...

How the human brain organizes its visual memories through precise neural timing has been discovered. Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC; CA, USA) have made a significant ...

Differences in the distribution of certain proteins and markers in the brain may explain why some people first experience vision changes instead of memory loss in Alzheimer's disease, finds a new ...

Recent studies have explored the dynamic interplay between ocular behaviour and the retrieval of visual memories. Notably, eye movements observed during mental imagery often reflect the patterns ...

Timothy Vickery, Ph.D., is an associate professor in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at the University of Delaware. The cognitive neuroscientist is primarily interested in visual ...

Researchers at USC have made a significant breakthrough in understanding how the human brain forms, stores and recalls visual memories. A new study, published in Advanced Science, harnesses human ...

People tend to underutilize their visual working memory (VWM) rather than maxing out its capabilities according to a new study by Ben-Gurion University researchers.

Ferroelectric quantum dots enable phototransistors that adapt to low light and store visual memory, supporting motion recognition and in-sensor learning in neuromorphic systems. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

Engaging in brain-training puzzles is an excellent way to boost memory, improve cognitive function, and sharpen problem-solving skills . These puzzles challenge the brain, encouraging it to form new ...
