Human memory is amazing. Psychologists who study memory have subdivided it into several memory types. First, there is sensory memory, or memory for information coming into the brain via a sensory ...

A device sold online to stimulate brain wave activity enhances theta wave activity in the brain and boosted performance on a memory test, UC Davis neuroscientists found. (Getty Images) The entrainment ...

In a new study published in Neuron titled, “Working memory readout varies with frontal theta rhythms,” researchers from the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at Massachusetts Institute of ...

The human brain is somewhat similar to a rudimentary radio with five channels. Electrical signals from neurons coordinate across the brain, generating oscillations known as brain waves. Each wave ...

As the rats ran down a short balance beam, stopping occasionally to poke their noses at a water fountain, their brains knew something was off. Inside the hippocampus, a brain region that documents the ...

Virtual reality games are often fun, immersive experiences. They take you out of your surroundings, dropping you into a completely different world. Sometimes, you’re just wandering around in what ...

Theta rhythm generation involves a variety of mechanisms, including theta rhythmic firing in septal and hippocampal interneurons, excitatory inputs to hippocampus and intrinsic properties of ...

The entrainment of theta brain waves with a commercially available device not only enhances theta wave activity, but also boosts memory performance, according to new research. The entrainment of theta ...
