From artificial intelligence to animals and people in comas, researchers evaluate different methods to test the presence of consciousness.
BrainNet, a new system that uses a brain-to-brain interface, allows three people to play a video game using 'telepathic' communication.
Brain stimulation resulted in progressive alterations to brain plasticity.
Applying repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to the prefrontal cortex helps improve performance in working memory tasks for both young and older subjects. The findings could provide a potential new treatment option for those suffering from Alzheimer's disease and other memory-related problems.
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.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation applied to the parietal lobe improves the function of brain areas important for memory which are disrupted by aging. The study reports TMS helps improve memory in older adults experiencing memory loss to the level of younger adults.
A neuroimaging and behavioral signature associated with connectivity in the ventral attention network has been identified in a subgroup of PTSD patients who fail to respond to treatment.
Using transcranial magnetic stimulation, researchers have successfully restored network function between the prefrontal cortex and cerebellum, helping to improve symptoms in those with treatment resistant schizophrenia.
A new computational model sheds light on how personal brain structure can influence our cognitive performance on language based tasks.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation allows researchers to better understand how brain networks interact to make word choice decisions.
Not only do women appear to be better protected against the effects of Parkinson's disease, a new study reveals a gender specific pathology exists in women with the disease as soon as the symptoms appear.
Researchers report transcranial magnetic stimulation predisposes neural connections in the visual cortex for reorganization.
