Neuroscientists show for first time that precise timing of nerve signals determines how brain processes information

It has long been known that the brain preferentially processes information that we focus our attention on—a classic example is the so-called cocktail party effect.

Scientists crack the code on how our brainwaves filter the noise of daily life

In a landmark study, scientists have found that the precise timing of electrical activity in our brains determines how well we process the world around us. This new knowledge could have massive implications for how we understand and treat focus, attention and memory in Alzheimer's disease and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Continue ReadingCategory: Brain Health, Body and MindTags: University of Bremen, Alzheimer's disease, Brain…
