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...
Researchers Uncover the Mathematics of Brain Waves
Researchers have developed a new mathematical model, which incorporates EEG data and evolutionary game theory, that bridges the gap between waves and random fluctuations in the brain.... Read More...
Reading Risk Behavior in the Brain
EEG technology allows researchers to predict risk taking behaviors in people. Researchers say higher frontal midline theta power is linked to higher cognitive control, allowing people to weigh up options more intensively during the decision making process.... Read More...
Waves Move Across the Human Brain to Support Memory
Alpha and theta oscillations move rhythmically across the brain, reflecting neural activity propagating across the cortex to help form working memory, a new study reports.... Read More...
Brainwave Link Between Disparate Disorders
Researchers report abnormalities in brainwave activity could be a common link between depression, Parkinson's disease, tinnitus and neuropathic pain.... Read More...
Creativity is a State of Mind and Can be Trained
Trained pianists have higher levels of brain wave synchronization when improvising pieces of music, a new study reveals.... Read More...
