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 ...

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, ...

The Memory Wave by Binaural Technologies is a scientifically-designed 12-minute gamma frequency audio program that uses neural entrainment technology to naturally enhance memory function, cognitive ...

It has been known for nearly 20 years that slow, synchronous electrical waves in the brain during deep sleep support the formation of memories. Why that is, was previously unknown. How do permanent ...

New research shows distinct patterns in waves of brain activity carry information when forming and recalling memories. These waves form different shapes—spirals or concentric waves, for instance—and ...

A new study finds that an easily measurable brain wave shift of phase may be a universal marker of unconsciousness under general anesthesia. At the level of molecules and cells, ketamine and ...

Unexpected patterns traveling across the cortex may be reorganizing its activity in real time. Click to tell Google to prioritize Quanta and see more of the best coverage of science and math in your ...
