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 ...

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

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 ...

A good night's sleep has long been understood to help us consolidate new memories, but we don't understand how. Associations with negative feelings like fear or stress can improve recall, but ...

Maintaining cognitive function and memory is more important than ever in today’s fast-paced world. Many individuals seek effective, accessible solutions to combat cognitive decline and enhance their ...

Hans Berger recorded the first human EEG in 1924. EEG records electrical activity via 16–25 scalp electrodes. Focal “slowing” in brain waves can indicate tumors or lesions. Patients must avoid ...

A growing body of brain-imaging research has mapped, with increasing precision, how the Amazonian psychedelic brew ayahuasca rewires electrical activity across the human brain. The latest contribution ...

A new study provides the first visual evidence showing that brain circuits in living animals can be activated by ultrasound waves projected into specific patterns (holograms). Led by scientists at NYU ...

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 ...

Numerous potential treatments for neurological conditions, including autism spectrum disorders, have worked well in mice but ...
