New malaria method could boost drug production Associated Press

(German Center for Research and Innovation) On Jan. 31, 2012, David Fitzpatrick (Max Planck Florida Institute) and Joshua Sanes (Harvard University) will discuss how identifying motion-sensitive neurons in the visual system aids in understanding brain function and development.

The event will take place at the German Center for Research and Innovation New York.

(Max-Planck-Gesellschaft) Our brains process many more stimuli than we become aware of. Often images enter our brain without being noticed: visual information is being processed, but does not reach consciousness, that is, we do not have an impression of it.

Then, what is the difference between conscious and unconscious perception, and can both forms of perception be changed through practice?
