A team of researchers has developed a way to significantly increase the memory of speckle patterns, the very complex patterns that result from shining a laser light onto an opaque sheet, such as paper ...

Human brains have a remarkable ability to separate streams of visual input into distinct memory-traces. It is unclear, however, how this ability relates to the way these inputs are explored via unique ...

Episodic counterfactual thinking (eCFT) is the process of mentally simulating alternate versions of experiences, which confers new phenomenological properties to the original memory and may be a ...

Findings suggest that suboptimal encoding patterns may underlie the formation of impoverished memory representations in individuals with memory impairment and lay a foundation for future work using ...

A team of Japanese neurologists and physiologists has found that momentarily suspending breathing in mice during a learning exercise can inhibit memory retention. In their study, reported in the ...

Each person is born into this world with a specific purpose, some say, and the same appears true for adult-born nerve cells, according to a study published in the 10 July issue of Science. Researchers ...
