Movies. Video games. YouTube videos. All of them work because we accidentally figured out a way to fool your brain’s visual processing system, and you don’t even know it’s happening. In this video, I talk to neuroscientist David...

This week, scientists announced great news about our brains and those discoveries may help us find the cure for a number of diseases and disorders.

This week's SciShow news has Hank bringing us a primer on the science behind various illegal and illicit ways in which athletes "improve" their bodies, proof of general relativity that we can actually see, and a new way to measure how...

How is it that you can be looking at a distinct object in front of you, yet picture something entirely different in your mind? The inner workings of what’s happening in our brains to allow this is a puzzle that scientists are now...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how information is processed in in animals. He starts by describing the different forms of information and how they are received by receptors. He explains how information is received by the brain...

Genetic Superheroes live among us! Hank explains that, along with a research study involving LSD and brain scans in this episode of SciShow News!

A lot of the adaptability of children's brains diminishes as they age. But researchers are looking for ways they might be able to restore some of that flexibility later in life.

This week, scientists announced great news about our brains and those discoveries may help us find the cure for a number of diseases and disorders.

Neurologist and author Oliver Sacks brings our attention to Charles Bonnet syndrome -- when visually impaired people experience lucid hallucinations. He describes the experiences of his patients in heartwarming detail and walks us...

Every morning we wake up and regain consciousness -- that is a marvelous fact -- but what exactly is it that we regain? Neuroscientist Antonio Damasio uses this simple question to give us a glimpse into how our brains create our sense of...

As humans, we can perceive less than a ten-trillionth of all light waves. "Our experience of reality," says neuroscientist David Eagleman, "is constrained by our biology." He wants to change that. His research into our brain processes...

Scientists have found a way to hack the visual process and generate shapes directly on the brain, so a person can see them without using their eyes.

Normally when you blink, you don’t really notice, and it turns out your brain is playing a bit of a trick on you to make that happen!

A new study reports what might be the oldest fossil animals ever found. And we're also learning more about what role the hippocampus plays in certain types of visual memory.

Hank talks about space shuttle Discovery's retirement, a private space "taxi cab" service, a breakthrough with man-made DNA, and the similarities between religion and pornography in your brain.

The Brodie helmet, widely used during the first World War, had some serious design flaws, . But thanks to those flaws we now have a staggeringly accurate map of the brain.

Synaesthesia, or mixed sensory perception, leads people to "see" smells or "hear" colours. Why does this occur and what does this tell us about brain function? Biology - Being Human - Learning Points. Each of our senses has different...

Dive into the intricacies of how we hear, from the journey of sound waves through the ear to the brain's ability to isolate and enhance conversations in noisy environments. Witness the fascinating tests conducted on diverse age groups...

In this video I show you how to use your five senses to reduce anxiety.

Duke neuroscientist Miguel Nicolelis describes why he believes that our brains are analogous to the internet, with main processing servers spread out in different regions.

Experts in neuroscience help us understand why the human brain is a marvel of structure and function. This video looks at the different areas of the brain. The hippocampus which helps us to form memories, learn and have emotions. The...
