New results from The Miller Lab:
Lower frequency brain waves act as a master clock, routing information and organizing local and long-range neural communication.

Theta gates and routes information in the frontal cortex

A new theory from the Miller Lab: Analog Cognition and Consciousness. We propose that cognition emerges from a dialogue: the brain's connections store information, but brain waves organize and compute, flexibly shaping neural activity into coherent thought and conscious experience.

Analog Cognition and Consciousness Cognition and consciousness may arise from bidirectional interactions between neuron spiking and large-scale brain waves. We propose that, while synapses store memories, brain waves provide an executive-like control process that organizes millions of neurons into lower-dimensional, coordinated patte...
