EEG can diagnose the two most common types of dementia(i.e., AD and VaD) because both of these types are cortical, and EEG reflects hidden brain abnormalities [72, 73]. What can a EEG reveal? An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a noninvasive test that records electrical patterns in your br...
GWhatever the function of dreams at night, they clearly can play a role in therapy during the day. The University of Maryland’s Clara Hill, who has studied the use of dreams in therapy, says that dreams are a ‘backdoor’, into a patient’s thinking. “Dreams reveal stuff about you ...
Architecture and neuroscience; what can the EEG recording of brain activity reveal about a walk through everyday spaces?New digital media and quantitative data have been increasingly used in an attempt to map, understand and analyse spaces. Each different medium with which we analyse and map ...
Some minds are so exceptional they change the world. We don’t know exactly why these people soar above the rest of us, but science offers us clues.

Scientific American maintains a strict policy of editorial independence in reporting developments in science to our...
People who wake up during REM sleep can narrate a vivid dream story, leading the researchers to propose that most dreaming occurs during the REM stage. By the electroencephalograph (EEG), similarities between brain activity during REM and that during wakefulness were shown. So the researchers ...
Neuromarketing techniques can be used to positively influence customer experience by influencing their emotions, opinions and perceptions. It's anticipated that virtual reality (VR) will be a prominent part of neuromarketing in the future. A VR headset could be combined with an EEG device to collect...
(EEG) to monitor the response, a team of neuroscientists led by Giulio Tononi and Marcello Massimini found thatthe electrical echo generated by the energy pulse will bounce all around a conscious brain, but stays very localised in an unconscious brain. In other words, the conscious brain is ...
some participants (e.g., children with autism spectrum disorder), difficult, stressful, and uncomfortable because, for example, of the need to lie as motionless as possible in fMRI or to wear an electrode cap and wash their hair after the experiment due to the use of electrode gel in EEG...
