In classrooms and study environments around the world, attention often wanes after only a short period of sustained focus. Researchers have long investigated how the brain maintains engagement during ...

A University of Iowa-led research team has documented in humans that physical exercise sparks an increase in brain waves ...

Combined with the hippocampal findings from the trisyllable study, this supports the idea that the brain’s mechanism for segmentation is to track how often sounds occur together and where they break ...

A new McGill-led study reveals that digital brain exercises can rejuvenate aging brain systems responsible for learning and memory. Older adults using BrainHQ for 10 weeks showed restored cholinergic ...

When you get better at a skill-recognizing a familiar face in a crowd, spotting a typo at a glance, or anticipating the next move in a game-sensory neurons in your brain become more coordinated, ...
