EEG and AI technology can directly decode the direction in which people are listening from brainwaves alone, without having to link them to direct sounds. Read More
A dynamic interplay of different brainwave frequencies, not dedicated networks, governs how the brain acts to a novel surprise and downplays predictable stimuli. Read More
Study reveals specific brain wave patterns that underlie the ability to remove irrelevant learned associations to make way for new, updated information. The research shows a particular behavior can be dependent on the synchronization of high-frequency brain waves in different parts of the brain. Read More
A new method for analyzing brain oscillation data can detect short beta wave bursts in real-time within neural frequency bands of 20 Hertz. The method also shows how rats can increase the occurrences of these bursts. Read More
DMT alters electrical activity in the brain. The compound significantly decreases alpha wave activity, the dominant rhythm associated with wakefulness, and increases theta waves, associated with dreaming. Overall brain activity becomes more chaotic and less predictable. The findings advance the understanding of the neurobiological underpinnings of immersive states of consciousness. Read More
A new study challenges the belief that epileptic seizures can be predicted by brain wave patterns. Researchers report they have found no evidence that specific brain wave patterns can be a predictive indicator of seizure onset. Read More
Two activities support the brain's ability to establish reliable connections in the presence of significant biological background noise. Read More
Hyperscanning reveals the brains of patients and musicians sync during music therapy. Read More
Theta oscillations help the brain remember locations to which a person is trying to navigate. Read More
Memory performance can be enhanced by rhythmic neural stimulation, using both invasive and non-invasive techniques. Read More
Neuroimaging study reveals veterans who suffered a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) have higher levels of fast, high-frequency gamma waves in the prefrontal and posterior parietal lobes, areas of the brain associated with consciousness, attention and problem-solving. Read More
