MIT researchers tested the “Spatial Computing” theory and found that brain waves organize neurons into flexible, ...

Our thoughts are specified by our knowledge and plans, yet our cognition can also be fast and flexible in handling new ...

The six anatomical layers of the mammalian brain cortex show distinct patterns of electrical activity which are consistent throughout the entire cortex and across several animal species, including ...

Achieve peak productivity by manipulating brain wave states. Instead of constantly operating in beta, shift to alpha for creativity, theta for deep insight, and gamma for breakthrough. Find "flow ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- When patients undergo general anesthesia, their brain activity often slows down as they sink into unconsciousness. Higher doses of anesthetic drugs can induce an even deeper state of ...

Throughout the brain’s cortex, neurons are arranged in six distinctive layers, which can be readily seen with a microscope. A team of MIT neuroscientists has now found that these layers also show ...
