A food diary offers more than simple voyeurism—it tells us about the author’s relationship to time, money, and pleasure. The ...

Imagine balancing a ruler vertically in the palm of your hand: you have to constantly pay attention to the angle of the ruler and make many small adjustments to make sure it doesn't fall over. It ...

The brain’s hemispheres are specialized for efficiency. Modern neuroscience shows lateralization enhances function without dividing the mind.

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

For decades, scientists have searched for a safe way to reach deep parts of the human brain without cutting into the skull.

A multi-institutional team of researchers led by Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC has for the first time identified specific patterns of brain chemical activity that predict ...

A landmark study suggests that this daily habit may reshape how your mind activates.

Constant notifications and screen time are rewiring your brain. Experts explain how always-on digital habits trigger mental fatigue, poor sleep, and what a digital detox can do.
