Mind & Behaviour
A familiar scent can revive a surprisingly personal scene. The explanation involves chemical signals, learned associations and connected brain networks, not a shortcut to a perfect recording.
Mind & Behaviour
A cough can conceal a missing speech sound so effectively that you hear a complete word. Experiments distinguish that perceptual completion from guessing, and from putting sound back into a recording.
Mind & Behaviour
A tune can return without an invitation. Experiments explain some of its entrances, but the repeating fragment still leaves scientists with a puzzle.
Mind & Behaviour
A copy of a movement command helps the brain predict some of its sensory consequences. That explains muted self-touch, but not every mystery of tickling.
Mind & Behaviour
Every eye sends the brain an image with a piece missing. The missing piece does not look black because black would itself be information.
Mind & Behaviour
A gorilla in a medical image puts three explanations on trial: poor visibility, lack of skill, and the gap between looking and noticing.
Mind & Behaviour
A vivid memory can feel like evidence. Experiments reveal why remembering an experience and judging its accuracy are different jobs.
