The ability of the brain to synchronize with the tone and intonation of speech influences how language is processed. Study results could help design more effective activities to train the brain in ...

While it's well known that sleep enhances cognitive performance, the underlying neural mechanisms, particularly those related to nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, remain largely unexplored. A new ...

The results revealed that the speed of alpha brain waves in the parietal cortex plays a key role. This region of the brain ...

Brains sync when collaborating on a task- even when they are not physically together. The corresponding study was published in Neuropsychologia. When people interact, their brains activate in a ...

Brain wave synchronization, also called neuronal coherence, is a fundamental mechanism of communication in the brain, where synchronized field potentials coordinate synaptic and spiking events to ...

A study from Karolinska Institutet, published in ‘Nature Communications’, explains how rhythmic brain activity known as ...

In the early 20th century scientists began to record brain activity using electrodes attached to the scalp. To their surprise, they saw that brain activity is characterized by slow and rapid ascending ...
