Brain Imaging
Forget these scientific myths to better understand your brain and yourself.
A study shows that the brains of lonely individuals respond in odd ways to visual stimuli, while those of non-lonely people react similarly.
Our brainwaves naturally synchronize with external stimuli like flickering lights. Here's how the phenomenon might boost learning.
The ability to decode acoustic information from brain activity aids the development of brain-computer interfaces that restore communication in patients who suffer paralysis.
A new study provides the most detailed look at brains on psychedelics to date.
Psychedelics mess with our prior beliefs, and could help us see what forms these beliefs in the first place.
This is the latest study to confirm that the brain does not fully mature until at least the third decade of life.
Ev Fedorenko’s Interesting Brains Project highlights the human brain’s remarkable capacity to adapt, reorganize in the face of early damage.

If a court needs to know if two trademarks look too similar to each other, perhaps the jury should be given a brain scan.
Godfrey Hounsfield’s early life did not suggest that he would accomplish much at all.
Your brain may notice fearful faces, even if you don't consciously realize it.
Compared to people who took a placebo, the brains of those who took caffeine pills had a temporarily smaller gray matter volume.

The separation of conjoined twins is fraught with stomach-churning biomedical and ethical challenges.
Long thought incapable of regenerating, we now know that brain cells can grow and reorganize. That, it turns out, is a mixed blessing.
A new finding that unconsciously processed images are distributed to higher-order brain networks requires the revision of a popular theory of consciousness.
A deep learning AI running on a supercomputer was able to link patterns of brain connectivity to political ideology.
Understanding these links could bring us closer to a cure.
Data from NASA, ESA, and Roscosmos suggest that long durations in space cause changes in the brain, some of which are linked to vision problems.
About six minutes after the heart stops, the brain essentially dies.
MIT neuroscientists have identified a population of neurons in the human brain that respond to singing but not other types of music.
The first recorded brain activity of a person during their death suggests a biological trigger for near-death experiences.
Certain types of dogs seem to be more discerning than others, however.
Humanity's most advanced tech still hasn’t unraveled the mysteries of the human mind. Can brain scans show us how we store memories?
