You'd think identifying a major organizing principle like this'd be big news, esp for global theories of brain function like Dehaene's GWT? Are known assemblies like the resting state network dependent-on/emergent-from these spiral wave neurodynamics? How does this stuff tie together? #neuroscience
This and a bunch of other papers have raised the profile of spiral waves as organising features of travelling wave neurodynamics. What does this form of organisation mean for perception, cognition, action? @earlkmiller.bsky.social @dakeller79.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroscience
Using concepts mostly familiar to fluid physicists, the authors manage to elegantly tackle the complex problem of describing large-scale brain activity patterns, providing a rich foundation for the fu...
In meditation, if I am sufficiently conscious, I sense a sort of field around me, shaped kind of like an apple. It resembles images of electromagnetic fields around a magnet, seen in textbooks. It seems to induce something from above, that *spirals* down into the top of my head, illuminating me.
