Two new studies published in the journals Neuron00792-5) and Naturereveal how the human brain transforms a continuous stream of sound into distinct words. The findings identify a specific neural ...

Scientists have shown that a non-invasive sound stimulation of the brain at a specific frequency can clear toxic proteins linked to Alzheimer’s disease, an advance that could lead to low-cost therapy.

A research team has uncovered a fundamental principle of how the brain prioritizes vision and hearing differently depending on whether we are still or in motion. The study provides new insights into ...

Listening to sound doesn t just trigger brain activity it reshapes your brain s internal networks in real time. Scientists have unveiled a powerful new imaging method, FREQ-NESS, that traces how ...

With its billions of neurons and complex connections, the brain is highly delicate. Traditional surgery poses significant risks due to its invasive nature. Scientists seek non-invasive methods to ...

Let's start off with the definition of sound. Sound is the vibrations of air that stimulate the ear to produce a signal in your brain. And it's these reconstructed vibrations—transformed into neural ...

An emerging technique harnessing ultrasound may revolutionize treatment of fatal or hard-to-cure conditions, from cancer to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Prior to focused ultrasound treatment, ...

(A) Mice are trained to respond to external audiovisual cues by making decisions to receive a water reward while avoiding a mild air puff. When both auditory and visual stimuli are presented together, ...
