This year is the centennial anniversary of German psychiatrist Hans Berger's invention of electroencephalography (EEG), a way to record electrical activity in the brain, now called brainwaves or ...
When two tones of slightly different frequencies are played in separate ears simultaneously (usually through headphones), the human brain perceives the creation of a new, third tone, whose frequency ...
A multidisciplinary neuroscience study using rare, intraoperative brain recordings suggests that low frequency stimulation of a deep brain region may be able to improve cognitive function in patients ...

When a sound repeats steadily—like a drumbeat, a bell, or even a clock ticking—it doesn’t just echo in your ears. Deep inside your brain, something far more interesting happens. Instead of just ...
Theta waves are one of the five types of electrical pulses your brain produces. They tend to happen when you’re lightly sleeping, dreaming, or in a state of deep relaxation. Experts believe they play ...
