People with spinal cord injuries often lose movement even though their brains still send the right signals. Researchers tested whether EEG brain scans could capture those signals and reroute them to ...

Gamma brain waves are rhythmic electric processes in nerve cells called neurons. Nerve activity in the brain allows for communication throughout the brain to carry out functions such as memory, ...

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 ...

A person’s natural brain wave patterns might offer a reliable preview of how intensely they will react to a dose of psilocybin. The resting electrical activity of the brain not only shifts ...

A new study from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience shows how flickering light can cause hallucinations in our brain: it produces "standing waves" of brain activity. The work is published in ...

Scientists have discovered that brief patterns of brain activity usually seen during deep sleep frequently intrude into the ...

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 ...

I am sure that almost every person has stated, “What is the matter with me?” or “I can’t believe I just did that!” There are so many possible reasons to explain those exasperating moments. I love ...

Here’s another reason to hit the “pause” button and find your zen. A new study found that meditation influences key regions of your brain responsible for emotional regulation and memory, offering new ...

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 ...
