A Rosetta Stone for brain waves

Whenever we watch the world around us or dream about it when sleeping, our neurons produce "brain waves"--coordinated patterns of firing that create electrical signals that repeat in regular patterns. [...]a new study by Philippe Schyns and colleagues at the Institute of Neuroscience and P...

Zusammenfassung:Whenever we watch the world around us or dream about it when sleeping, our neurons produce "brain waves"--coordinated patterns of firing that create electrical signals that repeat in regular patterns. [...]a new study by Philippe Schyns and colleagues at the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of Glasgow takes some initial steps toward cracking the brain wave code by matching up these waves with well-studied behavior: how people respond to looking at faces.
