Understand your brain. Explore the science.
A clear, evidence-led guide to the ideas, methods, and research shaping our understanding of the brain.
Start with a question
What helps regulate stress?
Explore biofeedback, autonomic function, and resilience.
How do researchers measure brain activity?
EEG, ERPs, and how the brain responds to events.
The Five Modalities Inside Sens.ai
Photobiomodulation (tPBM)
Explore how near-infrared light interacts with biological tissue.
The Brain Dictionary
Clear, concise explanations of key neuroscience terms, concepts, and methods.
Neuroplasticity
The brain's ability to change its structure and function in response to experience, learning, and practice.
Brainwaves
Rhythmic electrical activity produced by groups of neurons, grouped into frequency bands such as alpha and beta.
Brain Networks
Groups of brain regions that work together, such as the networks involved in attention and rest.
EEG
Electroencephalography (EEG) measures the brain's electrical activity using sensors placed on the scalp.
ERP
Event-related potentials (ERPs) are the brain's measurable electrical response to a specific event, such as a sound or image.
HRV
Heart rate variability (HRV) is the natural variation in time between heartbeats, shaped by the autonomic nervous system.
