Scientists have discovered a universal pattern of brain waves in multiple primate species, including humans. This pattern of electrical activity is seen in the six layers of tissue that cover the ...

The electrical signals rippling across the brain during and after physical activity offer a measurable window into how exercise reshapes mood. Researchers have spent decades recording ...

Sleep and wake: they’re totally distinct states of being that define the boundaries of our daily lives. For years, scientists have measured the difference between these instinctual brain processes by ...

Who needs a crystal ball when you’ve got artificial intelligence? Researchers at Mass General Brigham have developed a potentially game-changing AI tool capable of detecting subtle changes in brain ...

An experimental brain implant can capture the signals of movement-related brain regions while Parkinson’s patients perform daily activities like walking to the kitchen or strolling through a park, ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain "waves"—rhythms ...

Understanding the link between brain activity and behavior is among the core interests of neuroscience. Having a better grasp of this relationship will both help scientists understand how the brain ...

Researchers from the Mayo Clinic have published a study proving that the act of writing and sending text messages elicits a specific pattern of brain wave unlike any other previously recorded.

Neuroscientists are now able to trace specific patterns of life experience and learning by mapping specific patterns of brain waves. The ability to take a snapshot of individual brain wave patterns ...

(NEW YORK) — Can a baby’s brain waves predict the chance of autism? New research that looked at brain wave patterns of babies and toddlers showed the answer is likely yes. A research group in Boston ...
