The electrical signals rippling across the brain during and after physical activity offer a measurable window into how ...

In A Nutshell Researchers used a light-based brain imaging technique in mice to watch, in real time, what happens in the ...

At what point do "you" end and the outside world begins? It might feel like a weird question with an obvious answer, but your brain has to work surprisingly hard to judge that boundary. Now, ...

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, ...

One key role of sleep involves cerebrospinal fluid, which surrounds and protects the brain. During sleep, CSF helps remove waste that accumulates during waking hours. In a 2019 study, Lewis and her ...

The timing of our brain waves shapes which words we hear. Researchers used psychophysics, neuroimaging, and computational modeling to test whether neural timing influences perception of more or less ...

Understanding the link between brain activity and behavior is among the core interests of neuroscience. Having a better grasp of this relationship will both help scientists understand how the brain ...

These wide-ranging waves quickly link the specific constellations of brain regions that work in harmony to perform a task. In the space of just a few seconds, a person walking down a city block might ...

From headphones that can tell the age of your brain to a headband that can help rewire your brain, consumer neurotechnology devices are unraveling the mysteries of the mind ...

AI technology analyzes 24 hours of brain wave data in seconds, a task that takes trained specialists two hours to complete.
