HTTP:: Boosting Beta Waves Makes People Move Slower
--------
Experts at the University College London (UCL), in the United Kingdom were following a recent study able to conclude that brain waves have a significant influence on human behavior. In a series of tests, they attached a number of electrodes on volunteers' heads, and then ran a small alternating current through them. In a paper detailing the experiments, published in the latest issue of the journal Cell Biology, the team reveals that such research could unlock new avenues of research for curing movement disorders, such as Parkinson's. In such diseases, patients have a difficult time making voluntary movements, but the British team says that they managed to generate normal brain activity patterns in test subjects. “We induced the same patterns as you see in normal brains via electrodes,” explains UCL professor Peter Brown, who was also the lead author of the journal entry. His work was focused on learning how to boost the activity of a specific type of brain wave, called !
the beta oscillation, the BBC News informs. “Different parts of the brain work together and generate certain frequencies, and the movement areas of the brain come together in beta activity. That activity is suppressed just prior to and during movement, so we think the body gets rid of it to prepare to make a new movement,&rd...
