Data from a 2018 study by the authors shows bursts of brain wave power (warmer colors) at gamma (higher) and beta (lower) frequencies during a working memory task. When beta bursts appear, there are ...

Years of practice appeared to reshape the resting architecture of their minds. A passing state had, in some measure, become a ...

Boost your brain power with the only game series designed to improve concentration by using the “right brain development theory” of renowned researcher Makoto Shichida. Beta waves emitted by your ...

On neuroscience’s big stage Nov. 15, MIT Professor Earl K. Miller will propose that thought and consciousness emerge from the fast and flexible organization of the cortex produced by the analog ...

Bursts of brain rhythms with "beta" frequencies control where and when neurons in the cortex process sensory information and plan responses. Studying these bursts would improve understanding of ...

Have you ever put your keys down and then completely forgotten where to find them? The brain has to work hard to protect information in your working memory from distractions. How this process works ...

Most people assume that meditation takes weeks of dedicated practice before the brain registers anything measurable. You have to build the habit, accumulate the hours, reach some threshold of ...

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 ...
