Neuroscientists Reveal That Some Brain Waves Are More Than Background Noise
Neuroscientists from the University of Oregon found that seemingly random brain waves serve a unique purpose. Even in restful states, the brain remains active; however, scientists hadn’t explored these background signals much until recently. The recent study in mice sheds light on these signals that continuously hum in the brain’s background. Scientists believe these signals…

Neuroscientists Use Brain Stimulation to Increase Cognition
Researchers have found that brain stimulation may help treat a variety of severe mental illnesses. Neuroscientists discovered that combining artificial intelligence with targeted electrical brain stimulation could enhance cognition. The University of Minnesota Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital collaborated on the study. The pilot human study included twelve patients undergoing brain surgery for epilepsy…
