Voice experiments in people with epilepsy have helped trace the circuit of electrical signals in the brain that allow its hearing center to sort out background sounds from their own voices. Voice ...

The human brain contains more connections between neurons than there are stars in the Milky Way. Decoding the electrical activity behind all those cells is the massive task that excites neural ...

How does brain activity change from childhood to old age? Researchers introduce Xi–αNET, an AI model linking EEG rhythms to nerve-signal speed and myelination. Discover why alpha waves slow down as we ...

Electroconvulsive therapy is highly effective in treating major depressive disorder, but no one knows why it works. New research suggests it may restore balance between excitation and inhibition in ...

An electrical zap to the brain can temporarily render a person more susceptible to hypnosis, a new study shows. Participants became more easily hypnotized after paddles placed against their scalp ...

HANOVER, GERMANY: A mannequin is fitted with a prototype of a "mental typewriter", which is an EEG (Electro Encephalogramme Measurement) Cap that processes electric impulses from the brain into ...

Imagine if, just as smartwatches give us daily heart metrics, we eventually developed simple ways to measure how our brain is ...
