Researchers have found that the brain’s ability to hear and evaluate its own speech may matter more for learning new vocal ...

Transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) of the primary sensory or motor cortex can improve sensorimotor functions by enhancing circuit excitability and processing fidelity. However, tRNS is ...

We are now investigating the effects of this closed-loop auditory stimulation approach in REM sleep, where alpha rhythms are present but their role still unknown." The research contributes to the ...

A research team from the Kunming Institute of Zoology (KIZ) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has demonstrated for the first time in non-human primates that auditory stimulation at 40 Hz ...

Schematic of the study by Hebron et al, showing the closed-loop auditory stimulation approach to modulate brain alpha oscillations. Alpha oscillations are electrophysiological features of the human ...

A recent study reveals that learning a new language or recovering speech relies more on brain regions that process sounds and physical sensations than on those that govern motor control.

Using sound to stimulate certain brain waves has the potential to help those with dementia or cognitive decline sleep better, reveals a new study. Sleep disturbances are a common feature in dementia ...

22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (22q11.2DS) is the most frequent chromosomal microdeletion syndrome [1] and one of the strongest cytogenetic risk factors for a broad spectrum of psychiatric disorders [2, 3] ...

For patients with schizophrenia, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) was effective and safe in treating auditory verbal hallucinations, according to a randomized sham-controlled trial.

A dose of music could do wonders for anxious people, according to clinical trial research out this month. Scientists in Toronto, Canada, and the UK observed what happened to people taking medication ...

In a series of experiments, researchers used an innovative brain modulation technique known as Alpha Closed-Loop Auditory Stimulation (aCLAS), in which sounds are timed to the precise phase of alpha ...
