Lead author Nadine Dijkstra noted that while imagination does stimulate the same region, the signal is usually too weak to ...

Two brain regions seem to work together to determine whether we are seeing something real, or merely a product of our ...

Imagination relies on an ability to differentiate between what's real and what's not — and now, scientists have uncovered potential brain mechanisms that make this distinction possible. These, they ...

Your brain on imagination: It's a lot like reality, study shows. Dec 10, 2018. People have poor self-awareness for highly-practiced motor skill, scientists say. Jul 27, 2021.

A team of researchers examined whether picturing a choice impacts whether someone will make that choice in reality.

People who can no longer move or speak may soon have a new option: an implanted device that links their brain to a computer.

During imagination, many of the same brain regions activate in the same manner as when you see a real apple. Until recently, it remained unclear how the brain distinguishes between these real and ...

Mind We've figured out how our brains sort imagination from reality. Two brain regions seem to work together to determine whether we are seeing something real, or merely a product of our ...

Dr Dijkstra added: "Our findings suggest that the brain uses the strength of sensory signals to distinguish between imagination and reality." The study also showed that the fusiform gyrus ...

They added that the brain region is less active during imagination than in perception, which helps the brain keep the two apart. However, the study showed that, sometimes, when participants ...
