There's a belief that when someone loses one ability, another improves correspondingly. New research bears this out – in one scenario, at least – as it indicates that blind people remember spoken information better than their sighted counterparts.

Blind people can remember speech better than sighted people, but do no better when remembering sounds, a new study shows.

Scientists from Skoltech, South Ural State University, and elsewhere have developed a device for recording brain activity that is more compact and affordable than the solutions currently on the market.

Experimental brain implants were found to be effective for a certain person suffering from severe depression. Learn if this technology can help others.

Human brain adapts to loss of sensory information by tapping into visual cues Evidence that a sense of our physical selves can develop even without the sense of touch has been uncovered in a new study by researchers in the UK and the United States. The research shows that if someone loses their sense of touch and proprioception - their sense of body position - as an adult, they may learn compensatory skills using visual cues and conscious thought, or reasoning, to move their bodies. Someone who...

The research shows that if someone loses their sense of touch and proprioception - their sense of body position - as an adult, they may learn compensatory skills using visual cues and conscious thought, or reasoning, to move their bodies. Someone who has never had a sense of touch or proprioception, however, can find...

Study shows that physical embodiment can occur without sense of touch Researchers at the University of Chicago, the University of Birmingham, and Bournemouth University have uncovered evidence that physical embodiment can occur without the sense of touch, thanks to a study involving two participants who lack the ability to feel touch. The research was published on Feb. 12 in Experimental Brain Research. The transatlantic collaboration emerged from ongoing research with two unique individuals -...
