A new study of neural oscillations during varying stages of consciousness shows that anesthesia doesn’t just knock us out—it ...

In A Nutshell The brain’s attention system does not hold steady; it cycles through windows of vulnerability roughly 7 times per second, driven by a neural rhythm called theta oscillations. A second, ...

Researchers use MEG imaging to show that the brain reactivates "forgotten" memories, but they only reach consciousness if they pulse at a specific rhythm.

In a recent blog I discussed how bursts of brain activity during NREM sleep correspond with whether or not people recall dreams (see here). A recent paper published in Social, Cognitive and Affective ...
