Gamma brain waves are rhythmic electric processes in nerve cells called neurons. Nerve activity in the brain allows for communication throughout the brain to carry out functions such as memory, ...

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 ...

These wide-ranging waves quickly link the specific constellations of brain regions that work in harmony to perform a task. In the space of just a few seconds, a person walking down a city block might ...

A new study from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience shows how flickering light can cause hallucinations in our brain: it produces "standing waves" of brain activity. The work is published in ...

The team also found that errors triggered immediate changes in wave activity in the front region of the brain, which appeared to drive down alpha activity in the rear region. “It looks as if the brain ...

Adults with combined-type ADHD show distinct patterns of sleep-like slow-wave brain activity while fully awake, and those patterns track with attention failures and cognitive dysfunction. The finding ...

At what point do "you" end and the outside world begins? It might feel like a weird question with an obvious answer, but your brain has to work surprisingly hard to judge that boundary. Now, ...
