"The aDBS system listens to these brain waves and then algorithms adjust the stimulation in real time according to what the brain waves tell us about their symptoms. It's a very exciting development," ...

When electrical activity travels across the brain, it moves like ripples on a pond. The motion of these "brain waves," first observed in the 1920s, can now be seen more clearly than ever before thanks ...

Our thoughts are specified by our knowledge and plans, yet our cognition can also be fast and flexible in handling new information.

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 ...

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 ...

This public domain/Wikimedia Commons image of monitors working in the security operations center at the University of Maryland illustrates a challenge of visual working memory: keeping track of what ...

It is the stuff of nightmares: trapped in an immobilized body, unable to move a finger or bat an eyelid, yet with sight and hearing and thought undiminished. The impulse to whisper, "I love you," or ...

Neuroscientists studying the shifts between sleep and awareness are finding many liminal states, which could help explain the disorders that can result when sleep transitions go wrong Yasemin ...

A new study finds that an easily measurable brain wave shift of phase may be a universal marker of unconsciousness under general anesthesia. At the level of molecules and cells, ketamine and ...

Neuroscientists uncover how a 12-minute digital audio track called The Brain Song is redefining focus, memory, and mental clarity through safe Gamma-wave stimulation, and why thousands now call it ...

Achieve peak productivity by manipulating brain wave states. Instead of constantly operating in beta, shift to alpha for creativity, theta for deep insight, and gamma for breakthrough. Find "flow ...
