AI outperforms human eye in spotting epileptic behavior in mice

The advent of high-resolution imaging has provided healthcare providers and scientists with a greater understanding of the brain circuit malfunctions seen in epileptics, but less is known about how epilepsy affects behavior. A new study has used state-… Continue reading AI outperforms human eye in spotting epileptic behavior in mice

Brain-frequency primer accelerates learning and retention

The brain is a constant center of electrical activity, and when measured via electroencephalogram (EEG), certain patterns emerge, in the form of regularly oscillating brainwave activity. When you’re feeling calm and relaxed, or even meditative, your br… Continue reading Brain-frequency primer accelerates learning and retention

EEG earbud is made to monitor astronauts’ sleep patterns on the ISS

Sleeping while wired up with a full EEG cap would be hard enough here on Earth, but can you imagine trying to do so in the zero-gravity environment of outer space? It could be quite awkward, which is why an earbud has been designed to serve the same pu… Continue reading EEG earbud is made to monitor astronauts’ sleep patterns on the ISS

“Ghost imaging” combines human vision with AI to see around corners

X-ray vision has long been a staple power for superheroes, but soon mere mortals could see hidden objects with a little help from AI. Researchers at the University of Glasgow have demonstrated a “ghost imaging” system that reads the brainwaves of a per… Continue reading “Ghost imaging” combines human vision with AI to see around corners

First-ever recording of dying human brain reveals dreaming-like activity

“My whole life flashed before my eyes” is a phrase we often hear regarding near-death experiences – and there just might be some truth to it. Scientists have recorded the activity of a dying human brain for the first time ever, revealing brain wave pat… Continue reading First-ever recording of dying human brain reveals dreaming-like activity

The Real Science (Not Armchair Science) Of Consciousness

Among brain researchers there’s a truism that says the reason people underestimate how much unconscious processing goes on in your brain is because you’re not conscious of it. And while …read more Continue reading The Real Science (Not Armchair Science) Of Consciousness
