A new model of how the brain processes information describes neuronal activity as waves.
Longstanding models of the brain describe it as something like a biological computer. According to this traditional picture, the brain processes information like a relay. Individual neural cells detect a stimulus, then pass that data along from one neuron to the next, through a sequence of gates.
And like those more familiar waves, waves of brain activity — what the researchers call neural waves — either augment or cancel each other when they meet.Mathematical Model There are many potential uses for this new framework for understanding perception. For example, scientists suggest it could clarify how organisms, including humans, process spatial information.
