Some of the universe’s densest objects can twist, stretch, and resonate in ways that challenge even the most seasoned ...

Researchers have discovered a new type of plasma oscillation that behaves unlike anything seen before. These plasma waves can move independently of the plasma’s physical properties, even faster than ...

Researchers use MEG imaging to show that the brain reactivates "forgotten" memories, but they only reach consciousness if they pulse at a specific rhythm.

As many believe, the Big Bang started our universe. But not everyone is aware that the early world is nothing like what we can see these days. There's no stars, planets, galaxies or nebulas. For a bit ...

When you sleep, your brain is taking all the information you learned during the day, and deciding what to do with it. Whether you remember that information, or lose it during the evening, could come ...

Using light pulses, scientists have recently managed to control theta oscillations in mouse brain. They discovered that these brain waves coordinate movement - enabling signaling between distant brain ...

We can’t see it, but brains hum with electrical activity. Brain waves created by the coordinated firing of huge collections of nerve cells pinball around the brain. The waves can ricochet from the ...

In fact, several examples of the dissociation between perceived sensory events and their subjective interpretation can be found, e.g. at the clinical level in the case of schizophrenia or in everyday ...

When we are thinking, thoughts flicker in and out of our minds. What does that mean on the level of the brain? Recent research, conducted by researchers at at MIT and Boston University, suggests that ...
