What exactly does sleep do to the brain, and how could its benefits be boosted? To investigate, the US Army has awarded researchers a grant to develop a portable skullcap that can monitor and adjust the flow of fluid through the brain during sleep.

A study is showing that it may be possible to predict the onset of epileptic seizures several days in advance. By analyzing data from a brain implant designed to monitor and prevent seizures, the research hopes to develop a seizure forecasting tool.

A study is offering insights into how our brains generate pleasurable chills when listening to music. The research is the first to study this phenomenon using a new EEG system that allows for brain activity to be measured in natural environments.
-
Research analyzing brainwave patterns in both children and young adults while they wrote by hand and typed on a keyboard reveals distinct brain activity between the activities, suggesting learning may be more effective when accompanied by handwriting.
-
Although medication does help control seizures in some epilepsy patients, it doesn't have much of an effect on others. A new system is designed to help the latter group, by at least letting them know when seizures are about to occur.

The Kokoon Bluetooth headphones are deeply comfortable and deliver solid sound. However, the "sleep enhancing" bells and whistles are a little inconsistent for headphones priced at the luxury end of the market, so they're not for everyone.
-
Researchers have homed in on a specific brainwave measurement that can predict a person’s pain sensitivity. The research suggests this tool could be used to generate tailored treatment plans for patients based on their individual pain tolerance.
-
A new study has, for the first time, homed in on a novel EEG signature that can identify when a subject is in an REM sleep stage. Prior to this, scientists were unable to differentiate between dreaming and waking states using EEG brainwave data alone.
-
A new study investigating brain activity patterns in schizophrenia patients and their siblings is suggesting a specific brain “signature” could detect the condition in subjects before clinical symptoms appear.
-
The human brain's threat response system is state-of-the-art, and this interesting ebike incorporates a brain-machine interface that reads your brainwaves to detect threats and then acts on them before you've had a chance to think about it.
-
Engineers have optimized a novel technology that uses temporary tattoo electrodes to record EEG brain activity. The technology is cheap, can be produced using an inkjet printer, and delivers EEG measurements as accurately as traditional electrodes.
-
Following on from prior research finding brain wave patterns can signal whether antidepressant medication will be effective, a study is reporting the development of an algorithm that can predict patient response to antidepressants based on EEG data.
