Have you ever wondered how your brain separates internal stimuli, like your heartbeat, from external stimuli, like things that you see or hear? Researchers from the Center for Neuroprosthetics at EPFL ...

A person's sensitivity to external stimuli depends not only on the state of their nervous system, but also on their cardiac cycle. Usually we do not notice our heartbeat, paying attention to it only ...

Bilateral stimulation is the use of visual, auditory, or tactile external stimuli occurring in a rhythmic side-to-side ...

A University of Michigan-led research team has uncovered a neural network that enables Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies to convert external stimuli of varying intensities into a “yes or no” ...

Brain regulation of feeding behavior traits has remained incompletely understood. In their latest study, researchers at the Turku PET Centre, Finland, discovered a connection between the function of ...

How do our brains combine information from the external world (sensory stimulation) with information on our internal state such as hunger, fear or stress? Scientists demonstrate that the habenula, a ...

Bilateral stimulation is the use of visual, auditory, or tactile external stimuli occurring in a rhythmic side-to-side pattern. It is a core element of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing ...

Our brains combine information from the external world (sensory stimulation) with information on our internal state such as hunger, fear or stress. NERF-scientists demonstrate that the habenula, a ...

A new study revealed the link between the beating of the heart and perception sensitivity Scientists found that the heartbeat can alter sensitivity to external stimuli The activity of both the heart ...

The figure above is a schematic diagram of how external stimuli are transmitted to the nerves through the integrated device developed by the researchers. External pressure is transmitted through a ...
