Spiraling waves of neural activity appear and travel in the brain. Scientists hope to learn if these rotating waves on the move play a global role in sensing and interpreting internal and external ...

As sure as the brain is prone to distraction, it can also return its focus to the task at hand. A new study in animals by scientists at the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory of MIT shows how ...

Spiraling waves of neural activity appear and travel in the brain. Scientists hope to learn if these rotating waves on-the-move play a global role in sensing and interpreting internal and external ...

Artist’s impression of ComSLI. A rotating LED light coming from below shines through a whole human brain section into a high-resolution camera above. The result (on the right): a detailed map of the ...

After more than a century of study, the significance of brain waves — the coordinated, rhythmic electrical activity of groups of brain cells — is still not fully known. An especially underappreciated ...

This simplified version of a figure from the research shows the rotation of subspace coding from many trials with correct vs. error respoonses. The blue arrow ...
