Scientists studying brain process involved in sight have found the visual cortex also uses information gleaned from the ears as well as the eyes when viewing the world. They suggest this auditory ...

Figure 1: Visual stimuli activate auditory cortex in the deaf. Our visual stimulus consisted of a moving dot pattern (size, 10° diameter; speed, 7°/s; dot luminance, 590 candelas/m 2 against a ...

The brain scans showed that, in deaf subjects, the auditory cortex was activated when looking at rhythmic patterns of flashing lights (as were parts of the visual processing system). By contrast ...

In a second experiment, the visual cortex was also activated in participants who simply imagined the images – without visual or auditory prompts. According to the researchers, their findings ...

Scientists have discovered how the brain generates predictions of what it might experience next. They found that the ...

Their findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, pin-point the possible origin of the V1 activity evoked by auditory stimuli. "Increasing evidence shows that visual cortex is being activated by ...

Reduced language information encoding in the left hemisphere is a strong indication of auditory hallucinations in ...

Toothed whales use sound to find their way around, detect objects, and catch fish. They can investigate their environment by ...

You cant treat what you dont understand,” asserted University of New South Wales, Australia, psychology professor Tom Whitford in an interview with STAT. It is particularly relevant as researchers ...

Next, the scientists made entirely different recordings: They measured neural activity in the auditory cortex of mice that ... because of smoke or other visual obstructions." ...
