Each morning, your brain embarks on a remarkable series of events: it transitions from being asleep, potentially in an alternate reality, to waking up. Within a short time, you regain waking ...

Hans Berger recorded the first human EEG in 1924. EEG records electrical activity via 16–25 scalp electrodes. Focal “slowing” in brain waves can indicate tumors or lesions. Patients must avoid ...

Pea-sized brain blobs are a chatty bunch. Packed with neurons that spark with electrical activity, brain organoids—or “mini brains”—are a now popular way to study the human brain. Some organoids model ...

Every animal with a brain needs sleep—and even a few without a brain do, too. Humans sleep, birds sleep, whales sleep and even jellyfish sleep. In face-to-face conversations, speakers use hand ...

In the back of the head (the occipital region), alpha wave activity was about 25 percent stronger, and in the middle region, the sensorimotor cortex, there was a corresponding increase in the brain’s ...
