Everyone is sensitive to environmental stimuli, but the degree to which we are sensitive differs between individuals. This infographic describes the latest scientific insight on what high sensitivity feels like for adults.
Alan Turing was an excellent mathematician and codebreaker. Less is known about his great contribution to the field of biology: he spent the last years of his life developing mathematical theories to describe the patterns we see in nature
Just like a firefly glows when it inhales oxygen, our brains can light up when functioning with the help of PET scans.
At the Donders Institute, we use several methods to induce or disturb brain activity and investigate its consequences.
MRI can give us a detailed picture of brain anatomy, a map of communication pathways, and even a measure of different chemicals in the brain. Read on to find out how.
At the Donders Institute, we use EEG or MEG to measure brain activity. These tools use special equipment to detect the electric current or magnetic field that brain cells generate.
At the Donders Institute, we use functional MRI to map brain activity. We do this by measuring the increase in oxygenated blood that accompanies neuronal activity.
ADHD is not just common in children but also in adults
To prevent the brain from getting too cold, extra blood is drawn to your head, which can hurt.
A ‘coffee nap’, which is just drinking a cup of coffee and then taking a nap, supposedly makes you feel a lot more energized than a coffee or a nap alone. I have tried and absolutely love it. But how does it actually work?
Do looks make the person?
