Scientists have discovered a new way information may be traveling throughout the brain. The team has identified slow-moving brainwaves it says could be carried only by the brain’s gentle electrical field, a mechanism previously thought to be incapable of spreading neural signals altogether. (I’ll tell you why I think this is important at the end […]
