Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco have found that machine-learning analysis of brain waves recorded during sleep can identify women at risk of cognitive decline up to five ...

Adults with combined-type ADHD show distinct patterns of sleep-like slow-wave brain activity while fully awake, and those patterns track with attention failures and cognitive dysfunction. The finding ...

Researchers led by Masako Tamaki at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science in Japan report a link between deep sleep and cerebrospinal fluid, the clear liquid that surrounds and supports the brain and ...

Researchers capture the first direct evidence in humans that a single 20-minute exercise session triggers memory-boosting brain ripples.

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 ...

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 ...

People with temporal lobe epilepsy in particular often wander around aimlessly and unconsciously after a seizure. Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), the University of Bonn, and the ...

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 ...

For the first time, researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and Amsterdam UMC have identified what happens in neural networks deep within the brain during obsessive thoughts and ...

China backs ultrasound brain tech to treat pain and explore thought detection without implants. Here’s what it means for your ...
