By measuring the magnetic fields of the brain, researchers found that different contemplative practices uniquely change how ...

A series of recent brain-imaging studies has begun to explain a central mystery of the psychedelic experience: why people on psilocybin report that memories seem to blend with what they are actually ...

A growing body of neuroimaging research is pinpointing exactly how psychedelic drugs hijack the brain’s visual system to ...

A University of Iowa-led research team has documented in humans that physical exercise sparks an increase in brain waves ...

Researchers use MEG imaging to show that the brain reactivates "forgotten" memories, but they only reach consciousness if they pulse at a specific rhythm.

When electrical activity travels across the brain, it moves like ripples on a pond. The motion of these “brain waves,” first observed in the 1920s, can now be seen more clearly than ever before thanks ...

Biologically speaking, there is no organ as vital or complex as the brain. And yet, the brain still remains somewhat a of a mystery—there’s a lot that even experts don’t know. Another troubling fact ...

Hans Berger recorded the first human EEG in 1924. EEG records electrical activity via 16–25 scalp electrodes. Focal “slowing” in brain waves can indicate tumors or lesions. Patients must avoid ...

China backs ultrasound brain tech to treat pain and explore thought detection without implants. Here’s what it means for your ...
