Researchers discover that when the mind wanders or goes blank, some parts of the brain behave as they do during sleep.

Patterns of neural activity known as alpha waves, long thought to originate in the thalamus, may actually stem from a different brain region entirely.

A newly developed device can better measure brain waves such as those used to control a robotic car.

Imaging, behavioral, and genetic data yield clues to what’s behind effective thinking.

In people with epilepsy, transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) does not affect memory-related brainwaves as widely claimed, researchers report.

New methods could propel investigation of neural “PGO” wave patterns that may underlie critical aspects of visual experience, dreaming, and even psychosis.
