Optical illusions are helping researchers better understand attention and visual perception. Findings suggest attention operates periodically on the perceptual binding of visual information. Read More
Deep brain stimulation improves performance on cognitive control tasks and increases theta oscillations in the medial, and lateral prefrontal cortex. Read More
Entrainment devices not only enhance theta wave activity, they also may help boost memory performance, a new study reports. Read More
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
Researchers report drinking alcohol can impair brain waves associated with decision making, but not necessarily motor control. Read More
A new study reveals how the brain manages to perform learned categorization while under stress. Read More
Different processes occur in the brains of jazz and classical pianists while playing the same piece of music, researchers report. Read More
A new study reports the hippocampus puts events into sequence by changing the neural code in the rat brain. Read More
Theta oscillations may play an important role in olfactory processing, a new study reports. Read More
Researchers have identified how two distinct areas of the developing brain communicate and report REM sleep is key to this communication. Read More
A new study reveals people showed improvements in auditory memory when transcranial magnetic stimulation was applied. Read More
A new study offers insights into how we recall information and point to factors that may disrupt certain types of memories. Read More
