A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Communications, reveals how rhythmic brain waves known as alpha oscillations help us distinguish between our own body and the external world ...

Transcranial focused ultrasound could enable research into consciousness, a research team has suggested, providing a roadmap ...

In A Nutshell Alpha brain waves cycling at 8-13 times per second determine how wide your “temporal binding window,” or the ...

We don't precisely know how the physical matter in our brains translates into thoughts, sensations, and feelings. But an ...

The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

Researchers from Sweden's Karolinska Institutet looked at how the brain combines visual and tactile (touch-related) signals ...

Frequency of alpha waves in the parietal cortex -- the brain region that processes sensory information from the body -- ...

New research shows that the frequency of alpha waves in the parietal cortex impacts how we perceive body ownership. Faster wave frequencies enhance the precision of body ownership sensations, while ...

Lyte will serve as the "visual brain" for robotics, acting as both the eyes and visual cortex, with a focus on sensing and ...

Your ability to notice what matters visually comes from an ancient brain system over 500 million years old.

New research suggests the brain may stay active moments after the heart stops, triggering life recall and calm sensations ...
