Researchers suggest that the brain might be quickly recapping the important events of life before shutting down permanently.

During a typical night’s sleep, the brain’s activity fluctuates. The first three stages of sleep are characterised by three types of brainwaves: alpha waves, theta waves and delta waves.

If you’re like me and struggle to nap, you might be curious about Elemind, a wearable headband that uses neurotechnology to ...

Dr. Zemmar's team observed gamma oscillations involved in memory retrieval just before and after cardiac arrest.

"Instead, we propose that the brain uses waves to perform computations in a highly distributed and parallelized manner. The interference patterns produced by such wave-based responses facilitate a ...

Patterns of neural activity known as alpha waves, long thought to originate in the thalamus, may actually stem from a different brain region entirely. Amanda was an associate editor at The Scientist, ...

is a concept in neuroscience that refers to the difference in alpha brain wave activity between the left and right frontal lobes. This asymmetry has been linked to emotional processing and ...

To evaluate the effectiveness of public video campaigns against risky alcohol consumption, psychologists from the Konstanz Cluster of Excellence ...

Using advanced electroencephalography (EEG) techniques, the study published in Mindfulness found that meditators demonstrated differences in brain wave activity across theta, alpha, and gamma ...

The effects of the binaural beat will depend on its frequency and the corresponding brain wave: Beta waves (13-16 Hz) occur when we are awake and alert. Alpha waves (8-12 Hz) happen when we are ...

A key advantage of the team's technique is its ability to see individual variations in the generation of alpha and beta waves and link them to global changes in the brain. These two types of ...
