A device sold online to stimulate brain wave activity enhances theta wave activity in the brain and boosted performance on a memory test, UC Davis neuroscientists found. (Getty Images) The entrainment ...

Three millennia later, modern-day spas remain rooted in ancient practices and traditions like steam, mud, and soothing aromatics, but the integration of new technologies promises guests heightened ...

Theta waves are one of the five types of electrical pulses your brain produces. They tend to happen when you’re lightly sleeping, dreaming, or in a state of deep relaxation. Experts believe they play ...

The smarter you are, the more your brain is in sync with its own secret rhythm, a new study has found. When your brain works particularly hard, different regions of the brain sync up as they work ...

A new study has found that contrary to popular scientific belief, remembering an event drives the production of memory-related brain waves more than actually engaging in the event does. The finding ...

Place cells are specialized neurons in a brain region known as the hippocampus, which have been found to fire when animals are in specific locations. These cells don't fire randomly, but their ...

The brain generates rhythms naturally. One way to confirm this is to record the brain’s electrical activity. This electrical activity results from the passage of ions (particles with positive or ...

The entrainment of theta brain waves with a commercially available device not only enhances theta wave activity, but also boosts memory performance, according to new research. The entrainment of theta ...
