Brain's speech site is revisited and revised
Article Abstract:
The review of research work related to the damaged brain areas, which are considered to be responsible for speech processing, is presented. The analysis of damaged brains showed that both had damage to a region in the frontal area on the left side (known as Broca area) that resulted in loss of ability to speak.

Power up your memory bank
Article Abstract:
Researchers are demonstrating that memory can be improved when artificial electrical stimulants are used to boost the natural brain waves. Scientists believe that boosting brain's natural waves might help in treating sleep disorders, depression and even the reduction in slow-wave sleep that comes with ageing.

Brain waves reveal intensity of pain
Article Abstract:
The importance of the study of different brain waves in measuring the intensity of pain is discussed. The analysis shows that the brain electrodes correlate with the pain, hence providing an accurate measure.
