Working memory is organized by multi-dimensional neural representational geometry. It is not just the maintenance of sensory inputs.

New paper! A universal pattern of brain wave frequencies. They are slower in deep cortical layers and faster in superficial layers. When something is this ubiquitous, you know it is doing something important.
https://picower.mit.edu/news/study-reveals-universal-pattern-brain-wave-frequencies

ekmiller,

The findings support a model suggesting that the brain uses high-frequency oscillations to incorporate new information while existing memories and control processes are maintained by low-frequency oscillations.
See: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuron.2018.09.023

ekmiller,

@MolemanPeter. Lower frequency oscillations have a wider spatial extent. They can affect larger groups of neurons than higher frequencies. That's why we think alpha/beta are top-down control signals.

I am very saddened to learn of the passing of Peter Schiller. Peter was a great scientist. He took me under his wing when I started at MIT. I'll never forget him. Miss you, Peter.

Yea, rail! More, please.

ekmiller,

@janeadams Yeah. Real estate speculation (and corruption) has always followed railroad lines. It has also followed the building of roads. Which would you rather have, more cars or more trains?
