Your brain and the ocean share a feature that is as fundamental as it is unexpected: waves. While the rhythmic undulations of the sea are visible to the naked eye, a similar, more subtle phenomenon occurs within the grey matter of the human brain. Electrical activity, flickering across the brain’s surface, creates patterns known as…

In a landmark study that bridges the gap between biological neural activity and visual representation, researchers at University College London (UCL) have successfully reconstructed short videos using nothing more than recorded brain activity from mice. This breakthrough, published in the journal eLife, provides a powerful new lens through which scientists can observe how the mammalian…

Your brain and the ocean share an unexpected feature: waves. Beneath the surface of our conscious thoughts, electrical activity flows across the brain’s landscape in rhythmic patterns known as traveling brain waves, or neural traveling waves. Much like the swells that roll across the sea, these patterns are dynamic and multifaceted. They arise from a…
