The human brain can be primed to learn more than three times faster, simply by flashing a light at its individual alpha brainwave frequency for 1.5 seconds, suggests a fascinating new neuroplasticity ...

Neuroscientists identified a specific neural mechanism in the human brain that tags information with emotional associations for enhanced memory. The team demonstrated that high-frequency brain waves ...

By measuring thousands of neurons along the surface, or cortex, of the brain in animals as they reacted to predictable and surprising images, the researchers observed that low frequency alpha and beta ...

A new study has found high frequency propagating activity patterns in the motor cortex that contain details of upcoming movement -- information that could lead to the development of better ...

In a new study published in Neuron titled, “Working memory readout varies with frontal theta rhythms,” researchers from the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at Massachusetts Institute of ...

Getting to sleep often takes longer than a beat. With 1 in 3 adults struggling to snooze, it’s no wonder many will try ...

Our thoughts are specified by our knowledge and plans, yet our cognition can also be fast and flexible in handling new ...

Epileptic activity originating from one or more diseased brain regions in the temporal lobe is difficult to contain. Many patients with so-called temporal lobe epilepsy often do not respond to ...
