“If the doors of perception were cleansed,” William Blake wrote, “everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.” But we are finite creatures, in time and in space, and there i...
"We are never simply seeing what’s 'really there,' stripped bare of our own anticipations or insulated from our own past experiences. Instead, all human experience is part phantom...

You reach for your coffee mid-conversation and find it already in your hand. That gap between intention and action is where the mind actually lives.
The complexity of the 3lb organ in our heads is staggering. Yet it evolved in a very different world to the one in which we now live. So, what does it mean to be intelligent in the...
"Memory is dialogic and arises not only from direct experience but from the intercourse of many minds."
"Attention is an intentional, unapologetic discriminator. It asks what is relevant right now, and gears us up to notice only that."
In an exploration of the intersection of science and contemplative wisdom, Dr. Richard J. Davidson relates how extraordinary brain activity occurred while conducting an EEG on Tibe...
Nelson Dellis credits techniques like the method of loci for his extraordinary memory. Now, brain scans have revealed the parts of his brain that this approach taps into, and how w...

A new study reveals that the brain "builds" spatial maps through a process of information summation during echolocation. Researchers found that expert echolocators improve their ac...
Scientists have mapped a functional gradient in the rostral prefrontal cortex that connects our spontaneous "daydreaming" mind with our "logical" executive control.
Who you really are, and why it matters.
“What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?” Stephen Hawking wondered, recognizing the quixotic nature of his quest for a theory of...
New research reveals that time perception is a multi-stage process distributed across the brain. From raw visual encoding to subjective categorization, scientists have finally map...
Below, Dr. Majid Fotuhi shares five key insights from his new book, The Invincible Brain: The Clinically Proven Plan to Age-Proof Your Brain and Stay Sharp for Life. Fotuhi is a...
Dr. Louis Lefebvre's new book is a must-read, packed with the latest science and vivid storytelling; you'll learn why being called a “birdbrain” is a compliment and much more.
A mouse stands in a small chamber it has never been shocked in. The walls are smooth and white, the floor a particular texture, and nothing bad has ever happened here. Yet the anim...
The human brain has the curious capacity to look for patterns without our full awareness, but we can utilize active, mindful attention to assist in pulling in the positive.
New research shows brain waves travel in distinct shapes—and those patterns could one day help doctors strengthen memory and treat cognitive decline.
Our brains need to adapt quickly to meet the challenges of our digital world, but a rigorous new book by a neuroscientist brings hope that we can do it, says Graham Lawton
