Washington, Nov 13: In a new study, scientists have delved into one of the biggest questions plaguing brain research- how different human senses combine to give us a better view of the world.
Recent studies have claimed that there is actually a lot of overlap and blending of the senses occurring in the brain to help us better perceive our environment.
The study by researchers J. E. Lugo and colleagues at the University of Montreal, along with Walter Wittich from McGill University, was aimed at finding how different senses work simultaneously.
Washington, Nov 13 : A new theory has emerged as to how fossils may form, with the finding that 500 million year old fossils in Canada were formed by minerals that were ''stone baked'' deep under the Earth''s crust, a mystery which took over a century to be solved.
The finding was made by scientists from the universities of Leicester and Cambridge and from the British Geological Survey, who studied 500 million year-old fossils of the Burgess Shale in Canada, discovered over a century ago.
Once an ancient sea bed, the Burgess shale were formed shortly after life suddenly became more complex and diverse – the so-called “Cambrian explosion” – and are of immense scientific interest.
