A hearing system that monitors brain waves could help people with hearing loss communicate in noisy environments.

Here’s another reason to hit the “pause” button and find your zen. A new study found that meditation influences key regions of your brain responsible for emotional regulation and memory, offering new ...

The large red blob (left) indicates an increase in the timing, or synchronization, between brain waves measured over the medial frontal cortex and right lateral prefrontal cortex. This enhanced timing ...

People who exhibit elevated levels of borderline personality traits often struggle to think flexibly and maintain their focus ...

The discovery could prove useful in a variety of applications, from developing monitoring devices that alert air traffic control operators that their attention is flagging, to devising new strategies ...

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 ...

A good night's sleep has long been understood to help us consolidate new memories, but we don't understand how. Associations with negative feelings like fear or stress can improve recall, but ...

Hans Berger recorded the first human EEG in 1924. EEG records electrical activity via 16–25 scalp electrodes. Focal “slowing” in brain waves can indicate tumors or lesions. Patients must avoid ...

A new study provides the first visual evidence showing that brain circuits in living animals can be activated by ultrasound waves projected into specific patterns (holograms). Led by scientists at NYU ...

For individuals living with fragile X syndrome — a common genetic disorder that is correlated with autism, causes intellectual disability and more frequently affects male individuals — anxiety, ...
