(Medical Xpress)—Italian psychologist Giovanni Caputo has conducted a study with human volunteers where it was revealed that when two people stare into one another's eyes for a long period of time, both can experience disassociation ...
Standard models of perception are stimulus-driven, meaning that the external perceptual event drives the brain's perception-related activity. However, the tide may be turning: recent ideas suggest that our perceptual experiences ...
(Medical Xpress)—Dichromacy is a color vision defect in which one of the three types of cone photoreceptors is missing. The condition is hereditary and sex-linked, mostly affecting males. Although researchers have explored ...
