Everyone can relate to the experience of feeling a chill reverberate across their body upon listening to a favorite song. We know listening to music can provoke strong sensations of pleasure and prior imaging studies have illustrated deeply complex pat… Continue reading Brain study brings us closer to understanding why music moves us
New research has analyzed brainwave patterns in both children and young adults while they wrote by hand and as they typed on a keyboard. The results revealed distinctly different brain patterns between the activities, leading the researchers to suggest… Continue reading EEG study finds brain activity differences between handwriting and typing
Although medication does help control seizures in some epilepsy patients, it doesn’t have much of an effect on others. A new system is designed to help the latter group, by at least letting them know when seizures are about to occur.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Wearable system designed to predict seizures
If you prefer falling asleep to some kind of audio accompaniment, you have probably had the jarring experience of waking up in the middle of the night with an earbud jamming into your ear, or some over-ear headphones crushing up against your skull. Lon… Continue reading Review: Kokoon EEG headphones target the sleepless – just don’t roll over
An international team of researchers has homed in on a specific brain wave measurement that can effectively predict a person’s pain sensitivity. The research suggests this tool could be used to help doctors generate tailored treatment plans for patient… Continue reading Brainwave patterns can reliably predict a person’s pain sensitivity
One of the strange defining factors of dreaming is how our brainwave activity during this important stage of sleep resembles that of a waking brain. Because of this it has been difficult for researchers to determine when a subject enters a REM sleep st… Continue reading Dream state brainwave pattern detected for the first time
A robust new study investigating brain activity patterns in schizophrenia patients and their siblings is suggesting a specific brain “signature” could detect the condition in subjects before clinical symptoms appear. The study also hypothesizes modulat… Continue reading Brain activity signature catches schizophrenia before symptoms appear
Ebikes offer all kinds of opportunities for smart software integration – just check out the Greyp 6.1 we rode recently, which can adjust its assistance rate to keep your heart in a certain cardio zone, or auto-capture video when its AI detects you’ve d… Continue reading EEG-equipped ebike hijacks your brain’s threat response system
European engineers have optimized a novel technology using temporary tattoo electrodes to record electroencephalography (EEG) brain activity. The technology is cheap, can be produced using an inkjet printer, and delivers EEG measurements as accurately … Continue reading Inkjet-printed tattoo electrodes deliver long-term EEG measurements
If you’ve ever seen an experienced radio operator pull a signal out of the noise, or talked to someone in a crowded noisy restaurant, you know the human brain is excellent at focusing on a particular sound. This is sometimes called the cocktail party effect and if you wear a …read more
