When two people interact, their brain activity becomes synchronized, but it was unclear until now to what extent this "brain-to-brain coupling" is due to linguistic information or other factors, such ...

Even while listening, the brain attempts to anticipate the next words. This is the conclusion reached by a current study conducted by an interdisciplinary team of researchers led by PD Dr. Patrick ...

The timing of our brain waves shapes which words we hear. Researchers used psychophysics, neuroimaging, and computational modeling to test whether neural timing influences perception of more or less ...

A new study suggests that people are more likely to consciously notice neutral spoken words than negative ones when distracted by a visual task. These findings, published in the journal Psychological ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses advances in brain-computer interfaces. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the ...

Brain words are neural representations of spelling in the reading brain’s word form area. Metaphorically, the word form area is the dictionary in the brain critical for proficient reading and writing.

The parts of the brain that are needed to remember words, and how these are affected by a common form of epilepsy, have been identified by a team of neurologists and neurosurgeons at UCL. The parts of ...

But too many American school children don’t comprehend well on reading tests because they don’t have brain words. Many schools stopped teaching brain words— that is to say, spelling —about three ...

The timing of our brain waves shapes how we perceive our environment. We are more likely to perceive events when their timing coincides with the timing of relevant brain waves. Lead scientist Sanne ...
