A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Communications, reveals how rhythmic brain waves known as alpha ...

The results revealed that the speed of alpha brain waves in the parietal cortex plays a key role. This region of the brain ...

In A Nutshell Alpha brain waves cycling at 8-13 times per second determine how wide your “temporal binding window,” or the ...

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 ...

The six anatomical layers of the mammalian brain cortex show distinct patterns of electrical activity which are consistent throughout the entire cortex and across several animal species, including ...

Your brain is a bustling hub of electrical activity. This is due to the fact that the cells in your brain, called neurons, use electricity to communicate with each other. When a group of neurons sends ...

The findings, published through an open source website called Brain Chart, offer the first set of reference charts tracking structural brain changes over a human lifespan. And the scale of dataset has ...

Theta waves are one of the five types of electrical pulses your brain produces. They tend to happen when you’re lightly sleeping, dreaming, or in a state of deep relaxation. Experts believe they play ...
