New research shows that the brain’s ability to detect subtle visual changes—like spotting an anomaly on a security monitor—depends on theta-frequency brain waves (3–6 Hz) that rhythmically sweep ...

Yale scientists traced gamma brain waves to thalamus-cortex interactions. The discovery could reveal how brain rhythms shape perception and disease. For more than a century, scientists have observed ...

Breath during sleep be a key component that helps the brain's memory hub do the best job possible to store and reinforce ...

New research shows that during moments of lost focus after poor sleep, the brain releases a wave of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)—the same cleansing process that normally occurs during deep sleep.

Attention Deficient Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects 11% of children ages 4-17, and the numbers diagnosed continue to rise. ADHD continues to be one of the most common childhood mental health ...

The timing of our brain waves shapes which words we hear. Researchers used psychophysics, neuroimaging, and computational modeling to test whether neural timing influences perception of more or less ...

A special brain-wave cap can diagnose stroke in the ambulance, allowing the patient to receive appropriate treatment faster. Neurologist Jonathan Coutinho, Technical Physician Wouter Potters and ...

A special brain-wave cap can diagnose stroke in the ambulance, allowing the patient to receive appropriate treatment faster. Jonathan Coutinho, neurologist at Amsterdam UMC, is one of the inventors ...

A new research paper documents the outcomes of five volunteers who continued to receive 40Hz light and sound stimulation for ...
