Beta rhythms, or waves of brain activity with an approximately 20 Hz frequency, accompany vital fundamental behaviors such as attention, sensation and motion and are associated with some disorders ...

Patients with Parkinson’s disease are known to have abnormal brain waves especially beta waves in their subthalamaic nucleus (STN) region of the brain. Until now there have been no studies that ...

While different brain regions have distinct functional roles, increasingly these are being shown to be linked in a highly coordinated way. One way such coordination takes place is via electrical brain ...

When we are thinking, thoughts flicker in and out of our minds. What does that mean on the level of the brain? Recent research, conducted by researchers at at MIT and Boston University, suggests that ...

A team of neuroscientists proposes a new theory -- backed by data from people, animal models and computational simulation -- to explain how beta waves emerge in the brain. Beta rhythms, or waves of ...
