Tickle – a fascinating yet mysterious field in neuroscience
Do you remember a childhood time when you are tickled? Do you like the sensation of being tickled? Who are the ones who tickled you and who would you like to tickle? Have you tried tickling ourselves? Tickle is a familiar sensation to most of us. Yet, we lack a thorough scientific understanding of tickling. A recent article by Dr. Kilteni from Donders Institute and Karolinska institute looked at the status and the prospect of research on tickling, revealing interesting facts about this underrated subfield in neuroscience.
Word forecasts: how your brain reads into the future
The brain is an impressively rapid forecaster, completing sentences before they finish, as if informed by a crystal ball. Similar to language models like GPT, it constantly predicts words to come and is sensitive to errors.
The Secret Life of “Aha!” Moments And Why We Remember Them
A sudden flash of understanding can feel magical. But new research shows that “Aha!” moments are more than just a feeling, they reshape our brains in ways that make those discoveries stick.
How it all begins: a peek into early brain development
When we talk about the human brain, we often picture the adult form – a fully folded cortex, distinct regions, complex circuits, continuous changes and overlapping functions. Yet the story of how this structure emerges is one of the most striking narratives in biology. Early brain development is an orchestrated progression of cellular decisions, migrations, and refinements that begins long before birth and sets the stage for everything that follows.
Linking neuroscience to social-science using AI-agents
In this blog, we explore how simple decision-making mechanisms in the brain can evolve into complex social behaviour and how AI agents can help in finding such links faster.
The power of a resilient mind: why mental flexibility is more important than ever
To get straight to the point: resilience is different from acting unbothered or forcing yourself
Kneading your stress away: how baking can calm your brain
Baking isn’t just a holiday tradition; research shows that cooking and baking can reduce stress and improve emotional well-being. Here’s what neuroscience can tell us about why it works.
Active particles and Neuroscience: think out-of-equilibrium
Active particles are entities that move themselves by consuming energy. This blog highlights the overlaps between the field of active particles and neuroscience.
Why do we get goosebumps when we listen to music?
Ever gotten the chills while listening to music? Research suggests that these chills occur when music breaks our expectations. While goosebumps once served survival functions for our ancestors, today they reveal the emotional impact music can have on us.
