Gamma brain waves are rhythmic electric processes in nerve cells called neurons. Nerve activity in the brain allows for communication throughout the brain to carry out functions such as memory, ...

Have you ever put your keys down and then completely forgotten where to find them? The brain has to work hard to protect information in your working memory from distractions. How this process works ...

These wide-ranging waves quickly link the specific constellations of brain regions that work in harmony to perform a task. In the space of just a few seconds, a person walking down a city block might ...

Spiraling waves of neural activity appear and travel in the brain. Scientists hope to learn if these rotating waves on the move play a global role in sensing and interpreting internal and external ...

The timing of our brain waves shapes which words we hear. Researchers used psychophysics, neuroimaging, and computational modeling to test whether neural timing influences perception of more or less ...

At what point do "you" end and the outside world begins? It might feel like a weird question with an obvious answer, but your brain has to work surprisingly hard to judge that boundary. Now, ...
