MIT researchers tested the “Spatial Computing” theory and found that brain waves organize neurons into flexible, ...

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

Achieve peak productivity by manipulating brain wave states. Instead of constantly operating in beta, shift to alpha for creativity, theta for deep insight, and gamma for breakthrough. Find "flow ...

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 ...

There's no shortage of apps and technology that claim to shift the brain into a "theta" state—said to help with relaxation, inward focus and sleep. But what exactly does it mean to change one's ...

Now there’s a new breed of wearables—built for your head. Instead of tracking your step count, heart rate, and skin ...

Data from a 2018 study by the authors shows bursts of brain wave power (warmer colors) at gamma (higher) and beta (lower) frequencies during a working memory task. When beta bursts appear, there are ...

Have you ever put your keys down and then completely forgotten where to find them? The brain has to work hard to protect information in your working memory from distractions. How this process works ...

While different brain regions have distinct functional roles, increasingly these are being shown to be linked in a highly coordinated way. One way such coordination takes place is via electrical brain ...

After analyzing many previous studies on lucid dreaming, researchers have defined it as a state that differs significantly ...
