Electrodes distributed over the brain of a volunteer A new study conducted in the University of California has enabled scientists to find a way to decipher actual words from human brain waves. A team of neuroscientists worked with a group of epileptic patients who were under the treatment for difficult curable seizures. They placed electrodes in a part of brain which is involved in understanding speech. They... 

This research, conducted by social neuroscientists at UofT Scarborough, explored the sensitivity of the “mirror-neuron-system” to race and ethnicity. The researchers had study participants view a series of videos while hooked up to electroencephalogram (EEG) machines. The participants – all white – watched simple videos in which men of different races picked up a glass...
