Understanding how people visually browse their surroundings and direct their gaze in specific situations is a long-standing goal among psychology researchers. Past studies suggest that humans exhibit oculomotor biases, which ...
Brain death determination sits at the fraught intersection of critical-care medicine, ethics, and organ-donation logistics. Missteps risk either prolonging mechanical support with no prospect of recovery or declaring death ...
The brains of humans and other primates are known to execute various sophisticated functions, one of which is the representation of the space immediately surrounding the body. This area, also sometimes referred to as "peripersonal ...
