Sensory system

  1. Autistic adults showed more forward waves during visual stimulation
    EEG study reveals autistic adults show enhanced forward traveling waves during visual entrainment, suggesting reduced top-down predictions and increased bottom-up sensory processing compared to.
  2. Sugar substitution preserved yogurt-preparation quality better than removal
    Study evaluates sugar reduction strategies in strawberry yogurt preparations, finding that polyol sweeteners maintain sensory quality while improving anthocyanin stability.
  3. Task learning increased redundancy in macaque visual cortex responses
    Task learning increases information redundancy in macaque visual cortex while preserving individual neuron information, supporting Bayesian inference over efficiency-based models.
  4. European hedgehogs hear a broad ultrasonic range
    Study of European hedgehog hearing and ear anatomy reveals peak sensitivity at 40 kHz and ultrasonic perception up to 85 kHz, with implications for developing acoustic deterrents to reduce road.
  5. Bionic limbs are advancing toward more natural control
    Comprehensive review of bionic limb advancement, examining neural interfaces, sensory feedback, and AI-driven control alongside clinical implementation barriers and future development prospects.
