Neuroscientists are closing in on a striking idea: some brain cells appear to be tuned specifically to music, firing in ...

Creativity is notoriously difficult to study as it unfolds, but musical improvisation offers a rare chance to watch spontaneous idea-generation in action.

New research shows jazz improvisation relies on shifting brain networks as musicians move from memory to creative freedom.

Music affects us so deeply that it can essentially take control of our brain waves and get our bodies moving. Now, neuroscientists at Stanford's Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute are taking advantage of ...

Most people have experienced the moment when a few seconds of a song begin looping endlessly in the mind. Scientists call this an earworm, a term derived from the German word Ohrwurm, meaning a ...

The relationship between music and the human brain has fascinated neuroscientists for decades. While meditation has long been celebrated for its cognitive benefits, recent neurological research ...

A framework used by some high performers to work through emotional loops over time. Struggling to “do the work” and still feel stuck? You’re not alone. Brain Pattern Mapping, developed by educator and ...

The human brain is constantly picking up patterns in everyday experiences — and can do so without conscious thought, finds a study 1 of neuronal activity in people who had electrodes implanted in ...

Scientists have developed a new AI algorithm that can separate brain patterns related to a particular behavior. This work promises to improve brain-computer interfaces and aid with the discovery of ...
