Spiral Brain Waves and Cognitive Function: A Correlation
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Neuroscience News
Researchers have discovered swirling spiral patterns of brain signals on the human cortex that play a crucial role in organizing brain activity and cognitive processing. These spirals facilitate intricate interactions for computational efficiency and allow for flexible reconfiguration of brain activity during various tasks involving natural language processing and working memory. The study's findings were obtained from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain scans of 100 young adults, which the researchers analyzed using methods typically employed to understand complex wave patterns in turbulence.
