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 ...

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.

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 ...

Martin Kampmann’s work, supported by the National Institutes of Science (NIH), maps cellular “decision points” that determine ...

California-based researchers have developed an AI-powered system to restore natural speech for paralyzed people in real time and using their own voices. This new technology from researchers at ...

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 ...

Here’s another reason to hit the “pause” button and find your zen. A new study found that meditation influences key regions of your brain responsible for emotional regulation and memory, offering new ...
