Neuroscientists have discovered that when the brain is distracted, coordinated “rotating” waves of neural activity help it steer back to focus.

As sure as the brain is prone to distraction, it can also return its focus to the task at hand. A new study in animals by ...

Neuroscientists are striving to give a voice to people unable to speak in a fast-advancing quest to harness brainwaves to restore or enhance physical abilities. Researchers at universities across ...

A lab develops brain wave decoder that may help in spinal cord injury rehabilitation. When a person sustains an injury to the spinal cord, the normal communication between the brain and the spinal ...

New research shows that during moments of lost focus after poor sleep, the brain releases a wave of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)—the same cleansing process that normally occurs during deep sleep.

Researchers connect stroke survivor Ann Johnson's brain implant to the experimental computer, which will allow her to speak by thinking words. Noah Berger A brain implant that converts neuron activity ...

Place cells are specialized neurons in a brain region known as the hippocampus, which have been found to fire when animals are in specific locations. These cells don't fire randomly, but their ...
