A new immersive art experience from artists with depersonalization symptoms explores how people experience life from different perspectives, both while awake and while dreaming.

Many researchers thought the worlds orbiting the star TRAPPIST-1 would have thick atmospheres, but new observations of one of them show that it doesn't

Study reveals how a parent's personality type can influence and shape the lives of their children, for better or worse.

Archaeologists have found a trove of artifacts, including two statues of the goddess Venus, in a Roman-era quarry-turned-trash-dump.

Study sheds light on the mechanisms involved in removing information from the working memory and concludes forgetting information requires a lot of effort.

A new study investigates how viewing visual art affects our emotions. The findings reveal how the aesthetic experience can impact the body's emotional response.

Study identifies six factors humans must overcome to insure artificial intelligence is trustworthy, safe, reliable, and compatible with human values.

People with a long-term history of mental illness, including bipolar disorder and anxiety disorders, have blood biomarkers that reflect increased biological aging. The findings may help explain why those with mental heal...

Light is composed of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to each other. When these oscillations are restricted, say, along a plane, it results in polarized light. Polarized light is of great importa...

Findings reveal increased risk factors for psychosis in those with higher levels of certain cytokines involved in inflammation.

Study reveals four biomarkers associated with PTSD can be measured from simple blood samples. The biomarkers can be used to assess those at risk of PTSD, diagnose post-traumatic stress, and monitor responses to treatment...

Endometriosis often has vague symptoms that overlap with other conditions, and there are no non-invasive ways to definitively diagnose the condition.

A newly developed version of the Omega-3 fatty acid DHA can cross the retina in the eye and ward off vision loss for those with Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and other disorders.
