A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Communications, reveals how rhythmic brain waves known as alpha oscillations help us distinguish between our own body and the external world ...
Study shows alpha brain wave frequency shapes how the brain integrates touch and vision to create the feeling that your body ...
A lab develops brain wave decoder that may help in spinal cord injury rehabilitation. When a person sustains an injury to the spinal cord, the normal communication between the brain and the spinal ...
The brain is constantly mapping the external world like a GPS, even when we don't know about it. This activity comes in the form of tiny electrical signals sent between neurons—specialized cells that ...
To clinically measure electrical activity within the brain, healthcare professionals conduct an electroencephalogram (EEG). This requires setting up 20 electrodes around the head with conductive gels ...
A personalized electronic facial tattoo that wirelessly monitors the brain can tell when the organ is being overworked and can use the data it collects to predict mental overload, according to a new ...
Achieve peak productivity by manipulating brain wave states. Instead of constantly operating in beta, shift to alpha for creativity, theta for deep insight, and gamma for breakthrough. Find "flow ...
A high-resolution brain interface records movement signals from the brain's surface, enabling real-time control performance similar to invasive implants without entering brain tissue. (Nanowerk ...
In 2025, China’s non-invasive brain–computer interface (BCI) technology passed a critical test—not in a lab, but in the real world. Researchers validated the technology in two very different, ...
Our thoughts are specified by our knowledge and plans, yet our cognition can also be fast and flexible in handling new information. How does the well-controlled and yet highly nimble nature of ...
On neuroscience’s big stage Nov. 15, MIT Professor Earl K. Miller will propose that thought and consciousness emerge from the fast and flexible organization of the cortex produced by the analog ...
