A new theory suggests electromagnetic energy in the brain enables neurons and brain regions to create consciousness and our ability to critically think. Read More
Children learn more and remember better when writing by hand, a new study reports. The brains of children are more active when handwriting than typing on a computer keyboard. Read More
Astrocytes could be as important as neurons when it comes to regulating sleep. Read More
Skin-to-skin contact between a parent and newborn reduces how strongly a baby's brain responds to pain. Read More
Eight sessions of mindfulness-based awareness training give participants a significant edge in their ability to control brain-computer interfaces and the time it took to achieve proficiency over those who did not experience meditation training. Read More
Combining EEG brain function data, brain-computer interface technology, and artificial intelligence, researchers have created a system that can generate an image of what a person is thinking. Read More
Non-invasive transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) applied over the auditory cortex had a pronounced beneficial effect on those with dyslexia. Read More
Study identified the neural markers of beat synchronization in the brain and sheds light on how auditory perception and motor processes work together. Read More
New long-term brain monitoring technologies that can continuously record brain activity could help improve the treatment and management of epilepsy. Read More
Researchers test machine learning algorithms to determine the metal workload and affective states of the human brain. Read More
Signatures of brain activity in infants can predict autism symptoms at 18 months of age. In infants who later received a diagnosis of ASD, researchers noted decreased connectivity between frontal brain regions. The infants also showed increased connectivity across temporoparietal areas in the right hemisphere, which were associated with social information processing. Read More
Using EEG to measure REM sleep allowed scientists to distinguish dreaming from wakefulness. Read More
