Unraveling the Mystery of Spiral Signals in the Human Brain.

Mysterious spiral signals have been discovered in the human brain, which could help to organize complex brain activity. The signals appeared as swirling spirals of brain waves across the outer layer of the brain and were discovered in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain scans of 100 young adults. The exact purpose of these vortices is unknown, but their discoverers think the spiral signals might be used to link different parts of the brain and help process information faster. These vortices may even be impaired by brain diseases such as dementia, and could serve as inspiration for advanced computers that emulate the complex processes of the human mind.
