The paper argues that two major puzzles, how the brain creates a unified experience and maintains an “edge-of-chaos” state, may be explained by continuous electromagnetic fields generated by neural activity. doi.org/10.3389/fnco... #neuroscience

Analog computation is real, and your brain can take advantage of it. This chip does something similar, using natural electrical drift in its hardware to perform efficient analog computation. doi.org/10.1126/scie... #neuroscience

New results! A model shows how complex brain-like dynamics can emerge from simple interactions between adaptation and network structure, even when individual neurons behave irregularly. work by @bwz-brain.bsky.social doi.org/10.48550/arX... #neuroscience
Mean-field theory of rich oscillatory dynamics in low-rank recurrent networks with activity-dependent adaptationWe develop a dynamical mean-field theory for random recurrent networks with low-rank structure and firing-rate-driven adaptation. When the random connectivity is strong enough to generate chaos, incre...doi.orgHuman neuronal firing varies with the frequency of local field potential oscillations doi.org/10.1371/jour... #neuroscience
More evidence for a causal role of brain rhythms in cognition. Analyzing different brainwave frequencies shows how the brain mixes multiple sources of information when forming decisions. doi.org/10.1371/jour... #neuroscience
Not quite. A "task" means cognitively demanding. If you practice something until it becomes automatic it is no longer a task and thus you are not multitasking. scitechdaily.com/scientists-d... #neuroscience
