The study demonstrates that cognitive reserve accrued through long-term music training holds back age-related neural recruitment during speech-in-noise perception and enlighten the intricate interplay between cognitive reserve and age-related upregulated activity during cognitive tasks.
Gravity is one of the most fundamental physical forces in the Earth’s environment. A recent research, led by Assoc. Prof. Ying Wang and Prof. Yi Jiang at the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IPCAS), has provided new evidence that gravity not only determines how objects move but also profoundly affects how the human brain perceives and processes motion.
A new study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B has uncovered how the human brain’s perception of pain is influenced by instructions—such as whether to perceive pain as separate sensations or as integrated multimodal pain. The study also reveals how this process works and identifies the neural mechanisms involved.
