A new study showcases how brain waves known as alpha oscillations help us distinguish between ourselves and the outside world ...

The results revealed that the speed of alpha brain waves in the parietal cortex plays a key role. This region of the brain ...

A new study reveals that alpha brain waves help the brain decide what belongs to your body. Faster rhythms allow the brain to match sight and touch more precisely, strengthening the feeling that a ...

In A Nutshell Alpha brain waves cycling at 8-13 times per second determine how wide your “temporal binding window,” or the ...

A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Communications, reveals how rhythmic brain waves known as alpha ...

Researchers from Sweden's Karolinska Institutet looked at how the brain combines visual and tactile (touch-related) signals ...

The microscopic image shows a nerve cell and a magnified view of the investigated synapses. Calcium was released at these sites using a UV flash, which triggered the release of the neurotransmitter.

Brain representations of body parts in the lateral occipitotemporal cortex (LOTC) are grouped into three distinct categories: action effectors (hands, feet, arms, and legs), non-effectors (chest and ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers have found that the brain holds a ‘map’ of the body that remains unchanged even after a limb has been amputated, contrary to the prevailing view that it ...
