Spiraling waves of neural activity appear and travel in the brain. Scientists hope to learn if these rotating waves on the move play a global role in sensing and interpreting internal and external ...

Using sound to stimulate certain brain waves has the potential to help those with dementia or cognitive decline sleep better, reveals a new study. Sleep disturbances are a common feature in dementia ...

Spiraling waves of neural activity appear and travel in the brain. Scientists hope to learn if these rotating waves on-the-move play a global role in sensing and interpreting internal and external ...

Researchers discover rotating spiral brain waves that travel across cortical networks, acting as a space-and-time clock for ...

The large red blob (left) indicates an increase in the timing, or synchronization, between brain waves measured over the medial frontal cortex and right lateral prefrontal cortex. This enhanced timing ...

The paper introduces a parametric resonance model for characterizing some features of the brain’s electrical activity. This activity is assumed to be a fundamental aspect of brain functionality ...

Sleep is one of the most widely studied states of consciousness, known to play a role in physical recovery, the processing of ...

Have you ever put your keys down and then completely forgotten where to find them? The brain has to work hard to protect information in your working memory from distractions. How this process works ...

On neuroscience’s big stage Nov. 15, MIT Professor Earl K. Miller will propose that thought and consciousness emerge from the fast and flexible organization of the cortex produced by the analog ...

Brain wave patterns measured during childhood can accurately predict whether a child is likely to experience anxiety or ...

The brain divides vision between its two hemispheres-what's on your left is processed by your right hemisphere and vice versa-but your experience with every bike or bird that you see zipping by is ...

Summary: A new study demonstrated that localized head cooling can rapidly alleviate depressive symptoms and induce calming neural signatures in the general population. The randomized controlled trial ...
