Researchers find that human attention shifts 7–10 times per second due to innate brain rhythms, making us naturally susceptible to distractions.

A new study shows that attention moves in fast repeating cycles in the brain, making us more open to distraction at certain moments.

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain "waves"—rhythms ...

Scientists have revealed that our attention is on a cycle, shifting seven to ten times per second—a beneficial trait for our ancestors that may now work against us.

Scientists have shown for the first time that briefly tuning into a person's individual brainwave cycle before they perform a learning task dramatically boosts the speed at which cognitive skills ...

A study introduces a scalable 2D human neuron platform to probe how brain-like rhythms emerge and how specific drugs reshape them, aiding epilepsy and autism research.

A UCLA Health research team has identified changes in brain rhythms that indicate seizure activity in Alzheimer’s patients. Vossel’s previous studies showed that silent seizures, detected through ...

Li and colleagues developed a deep-learning model to analyze EEG recordings and detect event-level EEG spikes. 2. The model achieved high accuracy and a low false-positive rate, with only 32% of human ...

A growing body of brain-imaging research has mapped, with increasing precision, how the Amazonian psychedelic brew ayahuasca rewires electrical activity across the human brain. The latest contribution ...

When the brain is under pressure, certain neural signals begin to move in sync – much like a well-rehearsed orchestra. A new study from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) is the first to show ...
