Brain waves carry information. A new 'Cytoelectric Coupling' hypothesis posits that fluctuating electric fields optimize brain network efficiency and stability by shaping the brain's molecular ...

Our eyes are flooded with visual information, but the neurons in our eyes have certain constraints. Thus, how do neurons select what to extract and send on to the brain? Until now neuroscientists have ...

Compelling new research, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is suggesting neuronal activity in the hippocampus prior to the delivery of new information can ...

(a) Left: encoding of blink information, the schematic indicates that the brain generates specific commands and stimulates the eyes to blink accordingly when a specific situation is encountered.

Digital transmission is the sending of information over physical communication media in the form of digital signals. Analog signals must therefore be digitized first before being transmitted. The ...

Four experiments demonstrated that adults can reliably remember frequency of occurrence information about items they have been exposed to under truly incidental memory conditions. Subjects neither ...
