CAMBRIDGE, MA -- When patients undergo general anesthesia, their brain activity often slows down as they sink into unconsciousness. Higher doses of anesthetic drugs can induce an even deeper state of ...

Jena, Germany, 1924: Working in near-isolation and with painstaking tediousness, the psychiatrist Hans Berger observes rhythmic electrical activity from the scalp of human subjects. He is convinced ...

People with dementia have distinct brain wave patterns. Researchers are investigating how EEG tests could identify people in the earliest stages of the disease when treatments are mostly likely to ...

As dementia becomes more widespread, Mayo Clinic researchers believe that artificial intelligence is the key to enabling earlier and faster diagnoses. By pairing AI and EEG (electroencephalogram) ...

Hans Berger recorded the first human EEG in 1924. EEG records electrical activity via 16–25 scalp electrodes. Focal “slowing” in brain waves can indicate tumors or lesions. Patients must avoid ...

The Neurable Enten headphones have sensors in the ear cups that can measure brain waves while you listen to music. I started with CNET reviewing laptops in 2009. Now I explore wearable tech, VR/AR, ...
