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 ...

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

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 ...

A multi-sensory digital treatment protocol, incorporating sensory integration, sensory substitution, and sensory masking (e.g., blindfolding), significantly improved participants’ performance on ...

The simple act of walking backwards, though rarely practiced in daily life, might offer unexpectedly powerful benefits for brain health. This unconventional movement pattern challenges the brain in ...

A new study from the University of Pennsylvania has discovered how our memories are "geotagged" based on location using a GPS-like brain system. These "geotags" bring back a flood of memories ...

Why is sleep so important for learning and memory? Neuroscientists from the Csicsvari group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) provided new insight into this essential function ...
