A research team at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has uncovered a fundamental principle of how the brain prioritizes vision and hearing differently depending on whether we are still or in ...

A recent study published in the Annals of Neurosciences suggests that practicing a specific type of sound-based meditation can quiet electrical brain activity while simultaneously increasing a ...

Summary: A new study discovered that randomly played sounds during sleep can actively impair memory consolidation. By utilizing real-time electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring, the researchers ...

Dogs do it, cats do it, deer do it – in fact, many species of mammals can swivel their ears to direct their hearing. Humans lost this ability about 25 million years ago, but according to a new study, ...

Sounds can alter the way the brain interprets what it sees. This is the key finding of a new study by SISSA researchers in Trieste, published in PLOS Computational Biology. The research shows that, ...

The timing of our brain waves shapes which words we hear. Researchers used psychophysics, neuroimaging, and computational modeling to test whether neural timing influences perception of more or less ...

Brain Song launches 12-minute gamma audio program as research links 40-Hz entrainment to BDNF and cognitive wellness ...

A new study has uncovered how the brain seamlessly transforms sounds, speech patterns, and words into the flow of everyday conversations. Using advanced technology to analyze over 100 hours of brain ...

Life begins with music. The human body provides the basic musical elements for the soundtrack to fetal development. The rhythmic pulsing of mom’s heartbeat, the rise and fall of her footsteps, the ...

During sleep, the brain must achieve a delicate balance: disconnecting from sensory input to allow restorative functions, while remaining alert enough to wake if danger arises. How does it sort ...

A research team has uncovered a fundamental principle of how the brain prioritizes vision and hearing differently depending on whether we are still or in motion. The study provides new insights into ...
