brain signal

Thought's electrical carrier

Brain signal refers to the electrical or chemical activity generated by neurons communicating in the brain.

These signals form the basis of all neural function—thoughts, movements, sensations, memories.

In neuroscience and medical contexts, brain signals are measured through technologies like EEG: Researchers detected unusual brain signals during the seizure.

The term also appears in brain-computer interface discussions, where signals are decoded to control devices.
