Electrical signals from the brain could help identify potential issues in the organ's development, a new study reports. Scientists from the University of Fribourg in Switzerland and the University of ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain’s electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain “waves”—rhythms ...

Whether the treatment of rhythmic and periodic electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest improves outcomes is uncertain. We conducted an open-label trial of ...

First study to show that delivering information at the natural tempo of our neural pulses accelerates our ability to learn. Participants who received a simple 1.5-second visual cue at their personal ...

An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that records the brain’s electrical activity. Healthcare professionals use it to help assess and understand neurological conditions, sleep disorders, and brain ...

Jena, Germany, 1924: Working in near-isolation and with painstaking tediousness, the psychiatrist Hans Berger observes rhythmic electrical activity from the scalp of human subjects. He is convinced ...

Born with rhythm: Studies reveal newborns can predict rhythmic patterns in music, indicating rhythm perception is present at birth. Melody develops later: Unlike rhythm, newborns do not show surprise ...

Synchronization is a widespread phenomenon in nature. Examples include fireflies flashing simultaneously, crickets chirping in unison and bird swarms synchronizing their wing flaps. On the day of ...

NextSense has announced the official launch of the NextSense Smartbuds, a sleep device that uses six EEG sensors to measure brain activity in real time — then respond with timed audio stimulation to ...
