Hearing just 16 seconds of music helps your brain predict what comes next, shaping memory, emotion, and how songs make sense.

A new discovery from Tel Aviv University may provide a key to a great scientific enigma: How does the awake brain transform sensory input into a conscious experience? The groundbreaking study relied ...

If you or someone you know has gone through chemotherapy, you might be familiar with the side effect commonly called 'chemo brain.' Scientists have now demonstrated a simple way to protect brain cells ...

A machine learning model has helped explain how the brain recognizes the meaning of communication sounds, such as animal calls or spoken words. The algorithm described in the study models how social ...

We are in sound overload, even when we are not consciously aware of it. Those with misophonia may be casualties of the ...

The brain doesn’t always benefit from combining the senses. In autism and ADHD, clarity often comes from choosing what to focus on, not from taking everything in at once.

Scientists have shown that a non-invasive sound stimulation of the brain at a specific frequency can clear toxic proteins linked to Alzheimer’s disease, an advance that could lead to low-cost therapy.

Whether it's a car door not properly closed, a shanked kick in football, or a misplaced note in music, our ears tell us when something doesn't sound right. A team of neuroscientists has recently ...

Sounds can alter the way the brain interprets what it sees. This is the key finding of a new study by SISSA researchers in Trieste, published in PLOS Computational Biology. The research shows that, ...

How we learn to predict an outcome isn’t determined by how many times a cue and reward happen together. Instead, how much ...
