A new review surveys a broadening landscape of studies showing what’s known, and what remains to be found, about the therapeutic potential of non-invasive sensory, electrical or magnetic stimulation ...

Data from a 2018 study by the authors shows bursts of brain wave power (warmer colors) at gamma (higher) and beta (lower) frequencies during a working memory task. When beta bursts appear, there are ...

Scientists have found that the precise timing of electrical activity in our brains determines how well we process the world around us. This new knowledge could have massive implications for how we ...

A surprising MIT study published in Nature at the end of 2016 helped to spur interest in the possibility that light flickering at the frequency of a particular gamma-band brain rhythm could produce ...

A decade after scientists at The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT first began testing whether sensory stimulation of the brain's 40Hz "gamma" frequency rhythms could treat Alzheimer's ...

A new study in mice and rats found that restoring certain signals in a brain region that processes smells countered depression. Led by researchers from NYU Grossman School of Medicine and University ...
