An occupational therapist starts by looking at how a child responds to various types of sensory input and pinpointing ...

Plus, how it’s different from feeling overwhelmed.

This study presents a bioinspired multisensory framework that integrates vision, touch, hearing, smell, and taste within a self-powered architecture. By enabling cross-modal association and adaptive ...

Researchers discover decision-making signals in the brain's early sensory regions, suggesting bidirectional feedback loops ...

Researchers from Bielefeld University, Oxford University (Great Britain), and Aix-Marseille University (France) investigated this phenomenon of flexibility in perception, and have now published a ...

Normal motor behavior stimulates peripheral receptors, generating self-induced recurrent activity. For example, moving our limbs produces time-varying afferent input from cutaneous and proprioceptive ...

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is a term that has gained widespread usage in schools across America over the last few years. The problem is that it isn't easily understood, there is no magic cure ...

This genetic 'lingua franca' therefore allows the various sensory pathways to be built according to a similar architecture regardless of their very different functions. It is this shared language that ...

Neuroscientists have revealed how sensory input is transformed into motor action across multiple brain regions in mice. The research, conducted at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre at UCL, shows that ...

Sensory processing disorder—also known as SPD or sensory integration disorder—is a term describing a collection of challenges that occur when the senses fail to respond properly to the outside world.
