Multisensory perception and integration refer to the brain’s remarkable ability to combine stimuli from different sensory modalities into a unified, coherent experience. This process underpins ...

As a person ages, perception declines, accompanied by augmented brain activity. Learning and training may ameliorate age-related degradation of perception, but age-related brain changes cannot be ...

The results revealed that the speed of alpha brain waves in the parietal cortex plays a key role. This region of the brain ...

Researchers from UZH have discovered how the perception of meaning changes in the brain under the influence of LSD. The serotonin 2A receptors are responsible for altered perception. This finding will ...
