Brain wave patterns measured during childhood can accurately predict whether a child is likely to experience anxiety or depression in their teenage years. By tracking children over seven years, ...

Well organized and synchronized brain wave activity is essential for normal brain functioning. These electrical rhythms ...

A longitudinal study tracking children over a period of seven years has identified distinct brain-wave patterns emerging from age 9 that can forecast a child's vulnerability to anxiety or depression ...

People with dementia have distinct brain wave patterns. Researchers are investigating how EEG tests could identify people in the earliest stages of the disease when treatments are mostly likely to ...

Sleep and wake: they’re totally distinct states of being that define the boundaries of our daily lives. For years, scientists have measured the difference between these instinctual brain processes by ...

Researchers at the Ernst Strüngmann Institute in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, led by Wolf Singer, have made a new discovery in understanding fundamental brain processes. For the first time, the team ...

You’re lying on an operating table. A doctor injects a milky white liquid into your veins. Within a minute, your breathing slows, your face relaxes, and you remain limp when asked to squeeze a hand.

The brain of a dozing cat is recognizable by its production of what we call alpha waves. The human brain is also capable of producing such waves, for example when we lie relaxing in the grass with our ...
