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, ...

The brain is constantly mapping the external world like a GPS, even when we don't know about it. This activity comes in the form of tiny electrical signals sent between neurons—specialized cells that ...

Music affects us so deeply that it can essentially take control of our brain waves and get our bodies moving. Now, neuroscientists at Stanford's Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute are taking advantage of ...

Seeking a sleep solution that doesn't involve supplements? Personalized neurostimulation from the comfort of your bed is now an option. Aly Lopez Former Writer I Aly Lopez was a writer on the sleep ...

Researchers at MIT’s Picower Institute found that rotating waves of brain activity help restore focus after distractions. In animal tests, these rotations predicted performance: full rotations meant ...

Houston Methodist neuroscientists have developed a first-of-its-kind method to rapidly produce synchronized, human brain wave-like activity in lab-grown neural networks that can communicate over long ...

Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a method used to measure and visualize spontaneous electrical activity within the brain. Electrical impulses are the main form of signaling found within the brain; ...

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 ...
