Researchers have demonstrated for the first time that people can successfully navigate an obstacle course even after brain damage has left them with no awareness of the ability to see and no activity ...

Neural signatures of complex cognitive processing can occur in the absence of visual awareness, according to a study. Studies on brain-damaged patients can provide critical insight into the neural ...

Functional magnetic resonance imaging measures the neural activity of the brain based on the blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signal. Masataka Watanabe, a visiting scholar from University of Tokyo, ...

Color awareness has long been a puzzle for researchers in neuroscience and psychology, who debate over how many color observers really perceive. A study from Dartmouth in collaboration with Amherst ...
