Imagine a boxer dodging a punch, a musician perfectly timing a note, or a driver anticipating a green light—the brain can be ...

In tests involving 18 participants, the researchers changed both the speed and strength of the brain waves as measured ...

Patterns of neural activity known as alpha waves, long thought to originate in the thalamus, may actually stem from a different brain region entirely. Amanda was an associate editor at The Scientist, ...

A team of neuroscientists has discovered that brain waves in the alpha and beta frequency ranges predict the timing of future ...

The effects of the binaural beat will depend on its frequency and the corresponding brain wave: Beta waves (13-16 Hz) occur when we are awake and alert. Alpha waves (8-12 Hz) happen when we are ...
