Your brain is a bustling hub of electrical activity. This is due to the fact that the cells in your brain, called neurons, use electricity to communicate with each other. When a group of neurons sends ...

Different types of electrical activity within your brain dominate during certain times of day or during specific activities. Harnessing your brain’s alpha waves can help you enter a flow state, which ...

MIT researchers say they’ve taught test subjects how to manipulate their own alpha brain waves, thereby improving attention at a given task. The key: give the participants live feedback of their 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 ...

A study published in Nature Neuroscience highlights brain activity that happens when a sleeping person hears music. A team of UCLA researchers examined brain activity in the cerebral cortex of ...

Patients who are most likely to suffer severe pain following an operation can be reliably identified using a new technique. Patients who are most likely to suffer severe pain following an operation ...
