Some brain signals once thought to be "noise" actually encode useful information. Lessons from the physics of flow encourage us to reconsider these unpredictable signals and now scientists are finding uses for them in medicine.

Brain-computer interfaces provide a link between a person’s mind and a machine, allowing the brain’s electrical signals to be the language to use a machine.

The brain stores memories by changing how neurons talk to each other.

An intense bout of exercise can improve mood and create a sense of euphoria — an effect popularly known as the “runner’s high.”

A rebound in psychedelics research questions whether their clinical use can impact neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.

Several timekeeping brain regions work together to create our perception of time.

A picture of a dress captured the attention of millions around the world and raised a fundamental question – how could we perceive the same thing so differently?

This video takes a closer look at how grid cells and place cells in our brain give us a sense of where we are in space, and where we need to go.

Brain-machine interfaces convert our brain signals to actions and are powered by electricity. The same power source may be used to treat diseases and disorders.
