Unraveling the Mysteries of Cognition: Insights from Newly Discovered Brain Activity Spirals

Researchers have discovered spiraling wave activity patterns in the brain that correlate with cognition. Using brain scans from the Human Connectome Project, the team found that these spirals organize the flow of brain activity and are dedicated to specific cognitive tasks. By analyzing these spiral wave fingerprints, the researchers were able to classify different stages of cognitive processing. The findings provide insights into how the brain coordinates its activity and could have implications for understanding neurological disorders.
