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.
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.
Researchers shed light on the neural mechanisms behind risk taking behaviors. The study reveals the decision to 'up the ante', even when faced with long odds, is a result of an internal bias that adds up over time and involves a 'push pull' dynamic between the two hemispheres of the brain.
A new paper proposes resonance may contribute to human consciousness.
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.
Researchers report abnormalities in brainwave activity could be a common link between depression, Parkinson's disease, tinnitus and neuropathic pain.
A new study suggests a general model of working memory. The findings could help shed light on condition, such as schizophrenia, where working memory function becomes compromised.
Researchers reveal eating nuts can help enhance cognitive function, learning and sleep. The study reveals pistachios produce the greatest gamma waves response, and peanuts produce an enhanced delta brain wave response.
A new Nature Communications study sheds light on how the brain processes information relevant to memory.
Inducing gamma oscillations appears to suppress amyloid production and could prove an effective treatment potential for Alzheimer's.
A new study offers insights into how we recall information and point to factors that may disrupt certain types of memories.
Researchers demonstrate that the visual cortex in human subjects uses different frequency channels depending on the direction of the information being transported.
