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

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 ...

Researchers from Sweden's Karolinska Institutet looked at how the brain combines visual and tactile (touch-related) signals ...

Brain wave synchronization, also called neuronal coherence, is a fundamental mechanism of communication in the brain, where synchronized field potentials coordinate synaptic and spiking events to ...

The ability of the brain to synchronize with the tone and intonation of speech influences how language is processed. Study results could help design more effective activities to train the brain in ...

Brains sync when collaborating on a task- even when they are not physically together. The corresponding study was published in Neuropsychologia. When people interact, their brains activate in a ...

In the 17 th century, the Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens hanged two of his recently invented pendulum clocks on a wooden beam and observed that as time passed, the clocks aligned their beats. He ...

In the early 20th century scientists began to record brain activity using electrodes attached to the scalp. To their surprise, they saw that brain activity is characterized by slow and rapid ascending ...
