Brain's Symphony: Neural Synchrony Linked to Cognitive Abilities
2025-06-17

A new study from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz reveals that under pressure, the brain's neural signals synchronize like a well-rehearsed orchestra. This neural synchrony dynamically adjusts to different situations and is closely linked to cognitive abilities. Researchers used EEG to show that individuals with higher cognitive abilities exhibit stronger theta wave synchronization in the midfrontal brain region, especially during demanding reasoning tasks. This enhanced synchronization allows for better focus and distraction filtering. The study provides crucial groundwork for understanding intelligence at a neural level.
