New research suggests that attention does not remain steady, but instead cycles rhythmically several times per second.

Researchers find that human attention shifts 7–10 times per second due to innate brain rhythms, making us naturally susceptible to distractions.

A new study shows that attention moves in fast repeating cycles in the brain, making us more open to distraction at certain moments.

Scientists have shown for the first time that briefly tuning into a person's individual brainwave cycle before they perform a learning task dramatically boosts the speed at which cognitive skills ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain "waves"—rhythms ...

A UCLA Health research team has identified changes in brain rhythms that indicate seizure activity in Alzheimer’s patients. Vossel’s previous studies showed that silent seizures, detected through ...

Scientists have revealed that our attention is on a cycle, shifting seven to ten times per second—a beneficial trait for our ancestors that may now work against us.

When the brain is under pressure, certain neural signals begin to move in sync—much like a well-rehearsed orchestra. A new study from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) is the first to show how ...

NextSense has announced the official launch of the NextSense Smartbuds, a sleep device that uses six EEG sensors to measure brain activity in real time — then respond with timed audio stimulation to ...

First study to show that delivering information at the natural tempo of our neural pulses accelerates our ability to learn. Participants who got a simple 1.5-second visual cue at their personal ...
