MIT researchers tested the “Spatial Computing” theory and found that brain waves organize neurons into flexible, ...

A pilot program of Brain Waves RI is giving students a more intensive look at the human brain and how it works. Right now, it's in two schools in Rhode Island: St. Mary's Academy Bay View and Central ...

To clinically measure electrical activity within the brain, healthcare professionals conduct an electroencephalogram (EEG). This requires setting up 20 electrodes around the head with conductive gels ...

While different brain regions have distinct functional roles, increasingly these are being shown to be linked in a highly coordinated way. One way such coordination takes place is via electrical brain ...

In the space of just a few seconds, a person walking down a city block might check their phone, yawn, worry about making rent, and adjust their path to avoid a puddle. The smell from a food cart could ...

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 ...

A new study has found that contrary to popular scientific belief, remembering an event drives the production of memory-related brain waves more than actually engaging in the event does. The finding ...

After a decade of research, scientists have managed to recreate a song from brain recordings with the help of AI — and they’re letting us hear the track. In a press release about this pioneering ...

Researchers have known that a lack of quality sleep can increase a person’s risk of diabetes, but it’s not been known why. The results of a study in humans by a team of sleep scientists at the ...

Slow waves that usually only occur in the brain during sleep are also present during wakefulness in people with epilepsy and may protect against increased brain excitability associated with the ...
