New review by @MillerLabMIT: Cognition is an emergent property at the level of brain waves. To understand #cognition—and its dysfunction—neuroscientists must learn its rhythms. picower.mit.edu/news/paper-und… #neuroscience @ScienceMIT @mitbrainandcog
Mark Harnett studies the electrical properties of neurons and how they enable neural circuits to perform the computations underlying brain functions such as learning and memory. “My lab’s ultimate goal is to understand how the cortex works,” he says. mitsha.re/RkhL50RheE7
