Unlocking the Mind's Eye: How Imagery Shapes What We See with Dr. Fukuma & Dr. Yanagisawa


Listen Later

Dive into a groundbreaking study from the prestigious Osaka University, where researchers venture into the captivating world of visual perception and mental imagery. How does what we imagine influence what we actually see? Using advanced brain-computer interfaces and unique semantic space, they uncover the intricate dance between attention, imagery, and our neural representations. Plus, discover the promising implications of their research for individuals with paralysis and ALS. Join us as we illuminate the unseen pathways of the mind's eye!
