Understanding brain-behavior relationships is the core goal of cognitive neuroscience. However, these relationships—especially those related to complex cognitive and psychopathological behaviors—have ...

Have you ever wondered how the language you speak shapes your understanding of the world around you? And if you speak two or more languages, how might that change the way you process information? Is ...

While there is a wealth of knowledge about core object recognition—our ability to recognize clear, high-contrast object images—how the brain accomplishes object recognition tasks under increased ...

There is a long-standing debate about whether categories are represented by individual category members (exemplars) or by the central tendency abstracted from individual members (prototypes).

In real-world scenarios, objects’ surface features sometimes change as they move, impairing the continuity of objects. However, it is still unknown how our visual system adapts to this dynamic change.

Abstract: When engaged in dynamic visuospatial tasks, the brain copes with perceptual and cognitive processing challenges. During multiple-object tracking (MOT), the number of objects to be tracked (i ...

A London lab is deploying every technology it can use to understand infant brains, and what happens when development goes awry Baby Ezra is sitting on his mother's lap and staring at the computer ...

Attentional effort relates to the allocation of limited-capacity attentional resources to meet current task demands and involves the activation of top-down attentional systems in the brain.

A University of Illinois experiment shows that waning focus isn’t caused by a drained “attention tank” at all—it’s the brain getting bored. When volunteers tackled a mind-numbing computer task for ...

The question of what is a perceptual object is one of the most central and also controversial issues in cognitive science. According to the topological approach to perceptual organization, the core ...
