Our date of birth doesn't always match the age of our brain. How old our brain really is depends on our biological age, shaped by the wear and tear our cells experience over time. Genetics, ...

In a recent Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience study, researchers describe their observations from continuous electroencephalography (EEG) recordings obtained from the brain of a dying 87-year-old man ...

Mass General Brigham researchers have developed an AI tool that analyzes brain wave activity recorded during sleep using electroencephalography (EEG), a non-invasive technique that measures electrical ...

Diagnosing brain states is crucial in clinical practice to ensure preventive healthcare. Finding a small number of diagnostic brain markers would allow for the development of wearable devices that can ...

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 ...

While nitrous oxide gas has been used recreationally and medically for more than 200 years - originally for its euphoric and then for its pain relieving and anesthetic properties - the mechanism ...

Who needs a crystal ball when you’ve got artificial intelligence? Researchers at Mass General Brigham have developed a potentially game-changing AI tool capable of detecting subtle changes in brain ...

The century-old EEG, during which a dozen or more electrodes are stuck to the scalp to monitor brain activity, is often used to detect epilepsy. Its results are interpreted by neurologists and other ...
