The present review discusses a well-established method for characterizing resting-state
activity of the human brain using multichannel electroencephalography (EEG). This method …

There have been a number of advances in the search for the neural correlates of
consciousness—the minimum neural mechanisms sufficient for any one specific conscious …

Present day neuroscience places the brain at the centre of study. But what if researchers
viewed the brain not as the foundation of life, rather as a mediating organ? Ecology of the …

A thought-provoking argument that consciousness—more widespread than previously
assumed—is the feeling of being alive, not a type of computation or a clever hack In The …

Summary Gamma oscillations (∼ 30–150 Hz) are widespread correlates of neural circuit
functions. These network activity patterns have been described across multiple animal …

Among all neurotrophins, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) stands out for its high
level of expression in the brain and its potent effects on synapses. It is now widely accepted …

WINNER OF THE 2014 BRAIN PRIZE From the acclaimed author of Reading in the Brain
and How We Learn, a breathtaking look at the new science that can track consciousness …

To understand dynamic cognitive processes, the high time resolution of EEG/MEG is
invaluable. EEG/MEG signals can play an important role in providing measures of functional …

As we start to fall asleep, the sense of self slackens. Images float by, and our awareness
becomes progressively absorbed in them. The impression of being a bounded individual …

Despite the several-thousand-fold increase of brain volume during the course of mammalian
evolution, the hierarchy of brain oscillations remains remarkably preserved, allowing for …
