Scientists have discovered a universal pattern of brain waves in multiple primate species, including humans. This pattern of electrical activity is seen in the six layers of tissue that cover the ...

While sleeping, the entire brain rolls through long, slow waves of electrical activity, like waves on a calm ocean. Researchers call that state of consciousness "slow wave sleep". Waking up changes ...

Scientists believe they've discovered the roots of a powerful, biological phenomenon. Biases that are baked both our brains and our society – from social stereotypes to search engines – begin with one ...

The brain’s cortex, which handles higher cognitive functions in mammals, is split into six distinct physical layers marked by varying cell types, sizes and connections—and new research suggests these ...

A new study has found high frequency propagating activity patterns in the motor cortex that contain details of upcoming movement -- information that could lead to the development of better ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Last year, onlookers observed a startling site on China’s Qiantang River: waves forming a grid-like pattern. Dubbed the “matrix tide,” this complex wave pattern was caused by the river ...
