The marmoset is strapped to an EEG machine to track brain activity, before being brought in the back

As for mind-reading headsets that measure our brain activity and recognize our facial expressions: Um, no, don t think so.

Also its cerebral cortex the part of the brain linked to higher mental processes was convoluted probably folds linked with greater brain activity the researchers found.

but also records brain activity simultaneously, has been implanted in a person for the first time. Until now there has been a lack of data on how the brain responds to DBS,

The Brain activity Map project could be unveiled as soon as March and is expected to cost billions of dollars the Times says.

the Obama proposal focuses on mapping brain activity. For more amazing brain research go here. The New york times President Obama is planning an exhaustive study of the human brainwow didn't know he was a scientist?!

and deeper the challenges fruits and risks of multi-billion dollar programs such as the Human genome Project and now the Brain activity Map require much deeper scrutiny.

However I really seriously question the wisdom of diversion of a significant amount of limited resources available at this juncture for basic scientific research towards the specific goal of mapping brain activity patterns at the cellular level.

In the Brain activity Map proposal white paper entitled Ã¢Â#Âoethe Whole Brain activity Map: Merging Nanoscience and Neuroscience for Technology and Healthã¢Â#Â and dated in 2011

These networks of Ã¢Â#Âoeintelligentã¢Â#Â nanosystems would also be capable of providing specific responses to externally applied signals or to their own readings of brain activity.

How does brain activity change when we are hungry? Can we manipulate such a brain area and change behavior?

This combination of altered brain activity and decision-making may help explain why people who sleep less also tend to be overweight or obese.

Another co-author of the study is Andrea Goldstein also a doctoral student in Walker's lab. In this newest study researchers measured brain activity as participants viewed a series of 80 food images that ranged from high-to low-calorie

when brain activity suggested the flies had difficulty discerning the odors their behavior also showed they could not choose between them.

Both before and after meditation training the study participants'brain activity was examined using a special type of imaging--arterial spin labeling magnetic resonance imaging--that is very effective at imaging brain processes such as meditation.

The effect of potato chips on brain activity as well as feeding behavior can only partially be explained by its fat

Hoch explained that the team mapped the rats'brains using Manganese-Enhanced Magnetic resonance imaging (MEMRI) to monitor brain activity.

By contrast significant differences in the brain activity comparing the standard chow and the fat carbohydrate group only appeared to a minor degree

and matched only partly with the significant differences in the brain activities of the standard chow and potato chips group he added.

and brain activity was recorded. They found that both types of pesticide target the same area of the bee brain involved in learning causing a loss of function.

while the researchers recorded their brain activity. Each taste-related word was swapped then with a literal counterpart

Interestingly the metaphorical and literal words only resulted in brain activity related to emotion when part of a sentence but stimulated the gustatory cortices both in sentences and as stand-alone words.

Metaphorical sentences may spark increased brain activity in emotion-related regions because they allude to physical experiences said co-author Adele Goldberg a Princeton professor of linguistics in the Council of the Humanities.

The brain activity Citron and Goldberg observed did not correlate with this process. In order to create the metaphorical-and literal-sentence stimuli they had a group of people separate from the study participants rate sentences for familiarity apparent arousal imageability

Thus the brain activity the researchers recorded was not likely to be in response to any additional difficulty study participants had in understanding the metaphors.
