‘Noise’ in the Brain Encodes Surprisingly Important Signals | Quantamagazine
Date : 2019-11-07
Presentation
New research suggests that, what used to be considered "noise" in the visual cortex, actually encodes something completely unrelated to vision : information about movement even the smallest gestures. Quantamagazine explain that this discovery does not only change the way we approach the brain's inner workings, but also how research should be performed.
