Tuning into a person's brain wave cycle before they perform a learning task can dramatically improve the speed at which cognitive skills improve.
A simple motion like a push of a button can send ripples of activity across neurons spanning the entire brain, a new study reports.
Spatially organized recruitment of neural activity across the motor cortex informs details of planned movements.
Combining neuroimaging and EEG data, researchers recorded the neural activity of people while listening to a piece of music. Using machine learning technology, the data was translated to reconstruct and identify the specific piece of music the test subjects were listening to.
Tracking eye movements as a person views an image of a face in different lights provides vital clues about visual perception and consciousness overall.
Empathy is induced by synchronized neural oscillations in the right hemisphere of the brain, a new mouse study reveals.
Working memory stores different types of information in flexible codes which provide optimal outcomes for all possible courses of action.
Fentanyl exposure produces specific EEG signatures in the brain. The findings also revealed the drug impairs people's breathing four minutes before noticeable changes in alertness.
The brain constantly acts as a prediction machine, continuously comparing sensory information with internal predictions.
