Who needs a crystal ball when you’ve got artificial intelligence? Researchers at Mass General Brigham have developed a potentially game-changing AI tool capable of detecting subtle changes in brain ...

Scientists have discovered that brief patterns of brain activity usually seen during deep sleep frequently intrude into the ...

For individuals living with fragile X syndrome — a common genetic disorder that is correlated with autism, causes intellectual disability and more frequently affects male individuals — anxiety, ...

Researchers have discovered that adults with ADHD experience frequent intrusions of slow brain waves, typically linked to deep sleep, into their waking brain activity. These episodes disrupt sustained ...

Each morning, your brain embarks on a remarkable series of events: it transitions from being asleep, potentially in an alternate reality, to waking up. Within a short time, you regain waking ...

Hans Berger recorded the first human EEG in 1924. EEG records electrical activity via 16–25 scalp electrodes. Focal “slowing” in brain waves can indicate tumors or lesions. Patients must avoid ...

Every animal with a brain needs sleep—and even a few without a brain do, too. Humans sleep, birds sleep, whales sleep and even jellyfish sleep. In face-to-face conversations, speakers use hand ...

Pea-sized brain blobs are a chatty bunch. Packed with neurons that spark with electrical activity, brain organoids—or “mini brains”—are a now popular way to study the human brain. Some organoids model ...

In the back of the head (the occipital region), alpha wave activity was about 25 percent stronger, and in the middle region, the sensorimotor cortex, there was a corresponding increase in the brain’s ...

Nature heals the soul, but what does it do to the brain? Have you ever been on a camping or hiking trip to a national park ...
