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
Research suggests a time-locked encoding mechanism may have evolved for speech processing in humans. The processing mechanism appears to be tuned to the native language as a result of extensive exposure to the language environment during early development. Read More

Acute stress suppresses appetite, and the suppression is associated with alterations in neural activity in the frontal pole. Read More
Attention can be boosted by using neurofeedback to increase alpha brainwaves. Read More
Nonverbal children on the autism spectrum have a slower response to auditory stimulation. The longer response times were associated with poor communication skills. Brain imaging of the auditory cortex could serve as a biomarker for measuring the likelihood of language impairment in those with ASD. Read More
