A German study found that wine tasted better if the drinker thinks it's more expensive. Subjects inside an MRI scanner tasted a $14 red wine 3x but were told each sip was from bottles costing $3, $7, ... View More
Your brain is why expensive wine tastes so good
Everyone has expensive taste. When a bottle of wine costs more, our brains will actually trick us into liking it more, according to a new study from the University of Bonn. Researchers tapped 15 me…

Scientists monitor brains replaying memories in real time: Our brains use distinct firing patterns to store and replay memories
In a study of epilepsy patients, researchers monitored the electrical activity of thousands of individual brain cells, called neurons, as patients took memory tests. They found that the firing pattern...

Computer model of face processing could reveal how the brain produces richly detailed visual representations so quickly
When we open our eyes, we immediately see our surroundings in great detail. How the brain is able to form these richly detailed representations of the world so quickly is one of the biggest unsolved p...
