MIT researchers have found that they could teach test subjects how to manipulate their own alpha brain waves, thereby improving attention at a given task.

Artificially getting activity in certain parts of the brain to sync up can provide a small mental boost when completing tasks or recovering from mistakes, according to new research.

At the 2014 Neuroimaging conference held this year in San Francisco, industry professionals exhibited the promises and risks of being able to track, download, and manipulate brain waves.

In doing so, we might be able to get a greater understanding of the benefits of flow and how we can achieve it. While there is still a lot to learn, we know

Neurologist Phil Kennedy set out to build the ultimate brain-computer interface. In the process he almost lost his mind.

Can you electronically enhance your brain? I’m not talking about surgically turning into a Borg. But are there electronic methods that can improve various functions of your brain? Fans of bra…

In an increasingly complex information society, demands for cognitive functioning are growing steadily. In recent years, numerous strategies to augment brain function have been proposed. Evidence for their efficacy (or lack thereof) and side effects has prompted…

Russian researchers have created an AI that analyzes electroencephalography data and draws what a person is looking at in real time.

InspirationSleep is a forgotten country of the mind. A vast majority of our technologies are built for our waking state, even though a third of our lives are s…

MIT Media Lab researchers introduced a new method for controlled experimentation with hypnagogic dreams. The Dormio: Targeted Dream Incubation protocol helps record dream reports and guides dreams toward particular themes at sleep onset. The work was led…

Information processing during sleep is active, ongoing and accessible to engineering. Protocols such as targeted memory reactivation use sensory stimuli during…

Nucleoside analogues display significant anticancer or antiviral activity by interfering with DNA synthesis. However, there are some serious restrictions to their use, including their rapid metabolism and the induction of resistance. We have discovered that…

Potent adjuvant systems are required for subunit and single antigen based vaccines to provide sufficient immunogenicity. Furthermore, adjuvants can re…

The National Pulse can today reveal that tech giant Google-funded research has been conducted by Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance—a controversial group that has openly collaborated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology on “killer” bat coronavirus research…
