“We have an expression: to be on the same wavelength. It’s not just an abstraction. Research shows that it’s real,” says professor and brain researcher Anne-Kristin Solbakk. In the early 2000s, ...

In 1956, the renowned cognitive psychologist George Miller published one of the field’s most widely cited papers, “The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two.” In it, he argued that although the ...

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 ...

The large red blob (left) indicates an increase in the timing, or synchronization, between brain waves measured over the medial frontal cortex and right lateral prefrontal cortex. This enhanced timing ...

Stronger coordination between the brain and the stomach’s natural rhythm is linked to higher levels of anxiety, depression, and stress, according to the largest study of its kind from Aarhus ...

A small population of nerve cells appears to be responsible for blood flow and neural activity across the entire brain, findings that could have significant implications in the study of sleep, ...

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, ...

You’re lying on an operating table. A doctor injects a milky white liquid into your veins. Within a minute, your breathing slows, your face relaxes, and you remain limp when asked to squeeze a hand.

The brain divides vision between its two hemispheres-what's on your left is processed by your right hemisphere and vice versa-but your experience with every bike or bird that you see zipping by is ...

Neuroscientists are now able to trace specific patterns of life experience and learning by mapping specific patterns of brain waves. The ability to take a snapshot of individual brain wave patterns ...
