Neuroscientists have long known that cross-body movements help the left and right hemispheres of your brain to connect and coordinate. This is important because the more your hemispheres connect ...

Jack Gallant's Cognitive, Computational, and Systems Neuroscience Lab at University of California, Berkeley, aims to make discoveries about how the brain represents the world - and itself - by ...

Cross-cultural studies have shown ... How do functional brain circuits for the symbolic representation of numerical magnitude emerge? Do neural representations of numerical magnitude change ...

It is based on the transmission of ultrasonic plane waves into the brain tissue. After data processing, the echoes returned by the structures crossed by these waves can provide images with unequalled ...

creating a high-dimensional representation of texture in the brain. Our hands and fingertips are amazingly sensitive to texture. We can easily distinguish coarse sandpaper from smooth glass ...

The biggest change came in areas of the brain responsible for hand representation. Generally, when we use tools our brain doesn’t alter its biological representation of a hand. So to use a ...
