Neuroscience tools can showcase biological patterns, helping us detect information to learn more about ourselves and our health.

Scientists and musicians have used brain wave recordings from EEG signals to create “brain wave music” that may help with concentration and relaxation.

Though the two hemispheres in the brain have separate functions, there is typically no overall dominant side — both constantly work together to help us complete daily tasks.

Phantom limb syndrome is a condition in which people feel a limb that is not there. There are a few leading theories on why these sensations occur.

Fear responses help us confront life-threatening situations — but not all fears threaten our survival. Through fear conditioning, we can come to fear otherwise harmless scenarios.

Lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD, is a synthetic psychedelic that partially works by activating serotonin receptors, altering the way we think, sense, and behave.

Cerebral organoids, or mini brains, are grown to mimic molecular aspects of brain development, helping us understand brain cell formation and function.

By blocking a brain chemical that makes us sleepy, caffeine helps us feel more awake and alert.

Just like superheroes can train and grow their powers, our brain's connections change and adapt to give us our strengths.

Conspiracy theories take advantage of our pattern-seeking brains by grabbing attention, triggering strong emotions, and giving meaning to random events. Researchers think dopamine could be to blame when people forgo the facts for fiction.
