The brain generates rhythms naturally. One way to confirm this is to record the brain’s electrical activity. This electrical activity results from the passage of ions (particles with positive or ...

The smarter you are, the more your brain is in sync with its own secret rhythm, a new study has found. When your brain works particularly hard, different regions of the brain sync up as they work ...

In a new study published in Neuron titled, “Working memory readout varies with frontal theta rhythms,” researchers from the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at Massachusetts Institute of ...

Achieve peak productivity by manipulating brain wave states. Instead of constantly operating in beta, shift to alpha for creativity, theta for deep insight, and gamma for breakthrough. Find "flow ...

A new review of current literature, conducted by the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London, has found that irregular responses in the brain to challenging ...
