To support a range of behaviours, the brain must flexibly coordinate neural activity across widespread brain regions. One potential mechanism for this coordination is a travelling wave, in which a ...

During the study, the research team from the University of Surrey and the UK Dementia Research Institute Centre for Care Research & Technology at Imperial College London, used sound stimulation to ...

Using sound to stimulate certain brain waves has the potential to help those with dementia or cognitive decline sleep better, reveals a new study. Sleep disturbances are a common feature in dementia ...

This video illustrates the lifespan trajectory of the alpha process and its relationship with cortical myelination (T1w/T2w). Both the predicted myelination measure (derived from conduction efficiency ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Although our sense of self feels ...

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 ...

Predictive coding theory suggests that prior knowledge is crucial for optimizing human decision-making. However, how cortical dynamics implement this integration remains unclear. Here, we employ a ...

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 ...
