The only consciousness you can ever be certain about is your own. But there are different types of clues that could hint at what’s happening within another entity.
Sports fans see it all the time: two people arguing about a split-second difference in who did what. New research suggests human beings have a bias to perceive their own actions as happening sooner.
Research milestones in the study of memory may help us find solutions to memory disorders like Alzheimer’s or recovery from brain trauma.
If consciousness is a by-product of our brains’ nonconscious processes, where does that leave us?
Blind people don’t have superhuman ears but their brains can rewire themselves to give them an edge over those who can see.
