Study shows how our brains sync hearing with vision News To make sense of complex environments, brain waves constantly adapt, compensating for drastically different sound and vision processing speeds Every high-school physics student learns that sound and light travel at very different speeds. If the brain did not account for this difference, it would be much harder for us to tell where sounds came from, and how they are related to what we see. Instead, the brain allows us to make better sense of our world by playing tricks, so that a visual and a sound created at the same time are perceived ...

To make sense of complex environments, brain waves constantly adapt, compensating for drastically different sound and vision processing speeds, researchers report. Every high-school physics student learns that sound and light travel at very different speeds. If the brain did not account for this difference, it would be much harder for us to tell where sounds came from, and how they are related to what we see. Instead, the brain allows us to make better sense of our world by playing tricks, so that a visual and a sound created at the same time are perceived as synchronous, even though they rea...

 E-Mail Every high-school physics student learns that sound and light travel at very different speeds. If the brain did not account for this difference, it would be much harder for us to tell where sounds came from, and how they are related to what we see. Instead, the brain allows us to make better sense of our world by playing tricks, so that a visual and a sound created at the same time are perceived as synchronous, even though they reach the brain and are processed by neural circuits at different speeds. One of the brain's tricks is temporal recalibration: altering our sense of time to...

Or behaviors could you potentially address using games like this? >> i think it's incredibly broad the different type of brain systems that you'll be able to improve. our center over here really focuses on attention processes. how we direct our limited resources where and when we want them and we know when these abilities decline, you see all sorts of conditions arise. adhd to depression, autism, even things like alzheimer's. >> adam and his team build video games from scratch with some pretty lofty goals. the trick is figuring out what the video games should look like and how they should work...

Eventually thursday night into friday, all the way to southern california. very heavy rain. very heavy mountain snow, and really this is nothing but good news. it does bring the risk of flooding. we're going on see a little bit too much rain, too quickly. we'll see some flooding. we have the threat for mudslides, but california is dealing with a drought like we've never seen, and the only way to alleviate that is to get a lot of rain systems here during the rain where i season, which is beginning now. next couple of days, in fact, the next week or so, we continue to be in this pattern, and we'...
