The study of event perception and memory in everyday activities addresses how individuals transform the continuous stream of daily experience into compact, meaningful units. This process, often ...

A recent study published in Nature Neuroscience reports that retinotopic coding may determine how information from the retina is processed in the brain cortex. How does sensory signaling interact with ...

Recent research suggests that repeated "replays" of episodic memories—i.e., memories of personal episodes from our past—can help improve our ability to visually distinguish between scenes, faces, and ...

Memory and perception seem like entirely distinct experiences, and neuroscientists used to be confident that the brain produced them differently, too. But in the 1990s, neuroimaging studies revealed ...

I am not myself lately. Then again, was I ever? I’m not the self I was a year ago, or the one I will be in five minutes. My sense of reality is ephemeral, and my circumstances are constantly rewriting ...

A collaboration between SISSA’s Physics and Neuroscience groups has taken a step forward in understanding how memories are stored and retrieved in the brain. The study, recently published in Neuron, ...

In Plato's allegory of the cave, a person stands inside a cavern with a fire at their back, watching the shadows formed by the fire on the wall. The person believes the shadows are their reality, not ...

Neuroscientists are the cartographers of the brain’s diverse domains and territories—the features and activities that define them, the roads and highways that connect them, and the boundaries that ...
