Rhythmic control of ‘brain waves’ can boost memory
Memory performance can be enhanced by rhythmic neural stimulation, using both invasive and non-invasive techniques.... Read More...
VA-led study of combat personnel with brain injuries pinpoints abnormal brain waves
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...
Scientists translate brain signals into speech sounds
A neural decoder is able to use sound representations encoded in human cortical activity to synthesize audible speech. The technology could be used to help those with difficulties speaking to communicate freely.... Read More...
Brain stimulation improves depression symptoms, restores brain waves in clinical study
Transcranial alternating current brain stimulation (tACS) significantly reduced symptoms in people diagnosed with major depressive disorder in a pilot clinical trial.... Read More...
Voluntary Control of Brainwaves in Deep Brain of Parkinson’s Patients
Researchers have developed a neurofeedback system which allows Parkinson's patients to voluntarily control beta wave activity in the subthalamic nucleus.... Read More...
Real Time Feedback Tames Parkinson’s Brainwaves
Researchers report a neurofeedback system allows those with Parkinson's to voluntarily control brain waves associated with symptoms of the disorder.... Read More...
Parents’ Brain Activity Echoes Their Infant’s When Playing Together
When parents play with their child, their brains show similar bursts of brain activity. The activity is linked to their baby's attention patterns, and not their own, researchers report.... Read More...
Babies Kicking in the Womb Are Creating a Map of Their Bodies
A new study reports kicks and movements of unborn babies in the womb allow the child to map their bodies and assist in the eventual exploration of their surroundings.... Read More...
How Working Memory Gets You Through the Day
Researchers present a new model of working memory which helps explain how the brain holds information and executes volitional control.... Read More...
Memory Brainwaves Look the Same in Sleep and Wakefulness
A new study reports the brain mechanisms responsible for triggering memory are identical, whether a person is awake or asleep.... Read More...
How the Brain Learns During Sleep
A new study sheds additional light on how the brain consolidates memory during sleep. Researchers report rapid fluctuations in gamma band activity in the hippocampus during nREM sleep helps facilitate memory reactivation.... Read More...
