MIT researchers tested the “Spatial Computing” theory and found that brain waves organize neurons into flexible, ...

The question of whether invasive or noninvasive methods provide the best possible outcomes for patients with ...

Scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, and the University of Tokyo have found a mathematical ...

EPFL researchers have combined virtual reality, non-invasive brain stimulation and advanced brain imaging techniques to improve spatial navigation in healthy participants. The study is a first step in ...

Human navigation turns out to be less like following a static map and more like tuning a control knob inside the brain. New ...

As we age, it becomes more difficult to remember where things are—whether it’s recalling where we left the keys or where we parked the car. This spatial memory deteriorates further with the onset of ...

Targeted deep brain stimulation improves spatial navigation in virtual reality study, offering new hope for treating cognitive impairments like dementia. Study: Noninvasive modulation of the ...
