A research team has successfully induced self-location illusions with multi-sensory virtual reality (VR) in an MRI scanner and observed corresponding changes in the human brain's grid cell activity.
Researchers investigating how exactly the brain processes the incoming stream of information from the heart and lungs, discovered that specific neurons in the t
The body self-regulates in a process known as homeostasis, and the brain is responsible for this as it is constantly monitoring all of the body's vital signals.
The study could finally explain, at least partly, mysterious near-death experiences some people have.
