EEG

By linking blood flow patterns to bioelectric signals in the brains of sleeping volunteers, scientists are studying the order in which brain regions fall asleep and wake up.

Beaumanoir helped Jews evade Nazis during World War II and aided resistance fighters during the Algerian War of Independence. She also contributed to the field of epileptology.

A nascent but growing consumer market for brain-computer interface technology is driving the development of sleek new tools for decoding brain activity.

Changes in blood levels of oxytocin and adrenocorticotropic hormone and patterns of neural activity predict how much money people will donate to a cause with high accuracy.

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

An unusual experiment suggests that interrupted REM sleep can interfere with the amygdala’s ability to process emotional memories overnight—in this case, the distressing memories of listening to oneself sing out of tune.

Direct-to-consumer neurotechnologies using EEG or tDCS are becoming increasingly popular, but some scientists are concerned about the lack of evidence for efficacy.

A study of people’s brainwaves hints at their unconscious ability to perceive the Earth’s magnetic field.

The drugs lead to widespread, predictable changes in brain waves that can help anesthesiologists personalize anesthesia and develop anesthetic-based treatments.

Drugs that doctors use to sedate patients during traumatic medical procedures act on neural receptors to alter brain activity.

At playtime together, parents’ brain activity mimics that of their infant children.

The EEG-based method could help clinicians identify patients with severe brain injuries who are actually capable of some cognitive function, despite appearing unresponsive.

By measuring brain activity patterns, scientists can more objectively assess infant distress.

By examining brainwave patterns in a posterior cortical area, scientists can predict when people are dreaming.

The same brain mechanism by which surprising events interrupt movements may also be involved in disrupting cognition, according to a study.

Dean Cercone shares the cortical correlates of his creative process as part of a neuroscience-inspired exhibition.

A neuroscientist studies the brains of tango dancers in an attempt to understand interpersonal connectedness.

Researchers hunt for biomarkers of Asperger's syndrome, a condition that officially no longer exists.

Researchers identify previously unrecognized neuronal activity in comatose human and feline brains.
