Scientists have shown for the first time that briefly tuning into a person's individual brainwave cycle before they perform a learning task dramatically boosts the speed at which cognitive skills ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain "waves"—rhythms ...

A UCLA Health research team has identified changes in brain rhythms that indicate seizure activity in Alzheimer’s patients. Vossel’s previous studies showed that silent seizures, detected through ...

Jena, Germany, 1924: Working in near-isolation and with painstaking tediousness, the psychiatrist Hans Berger observes rhythmic electrical activity from the scalp of human subjects. He is convinced ...

When the brain is under pressure, certain neural signals begin to move in sync – much like a well-rehearsed orchestra. A new study from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) is the first to show ...

NextSense has announced the official launch of the NextSense Smartbuds, a sleep device that uses six EEG sensors to measure brain activity in real time — then respond with timed audio stimulation to ...

A new study shows that attention moves in fast repeating cycles in the brain, making us more open to distraction at certain moments.

First study to show that delivering information at the natural tempo of our neural pulses accelerates our ability to learn. Participants who got a simple 1.5-second visual cue at their personal ...
