A new study reveals that alpha brain waves help the brain decide what belongs to your body. Faster rhythms allow the brain to match sight and touch more precisely, strengthening the feeling that a ...

New research suggests the brain may stay active moments after the heart stops, triggering life recall and calm sensations that many describe as seeing loved ones or white, light experiences before ...

A new study showcases how brain waves known as alpha oscillations help us distinguish between ourselves and the outside world.

In A Nutshell Alpha brain waves cycling at 8-13 times per second determine how wide your “temporal binding window,” or the time gap your brain tolerates between seeing and feeling a touch while still ...

When electrical activity travels across the brain, it moves like ripples on a pond. The motion of these "brain waves," first observed in the 1920s, can now be seen more clearly than ever before thanks ...

Music affects us so deeply that it can essentially take control of our brain waves and get our bodies moving. Now, neuroscientists at Stanford's Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute are taking advantage of ...

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 ...

This public domain/Wikimedia Commons image of monitors working in the security operations center at the University of Maryland illustrates a challenge of visual working memory: keeping track of what ...

New research shows sleep deprivation can push the awake brain into a sleep-like state, disrupting attention and brain fluid ...

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 ...
