Researchers at MIT’s Picower Institute found that rotating waves of brain activity help restore focus after distractions. In animal tests, these rotations predicted performance: full rotations meant ...

This simplified version of a figure from the research shows the rotation of subspace coding from many trials with correct vs. error respoonses. The blue arrow ...

Researchers have crossed a threshold that once belonged squarely to science fiction: they have built working models of brains ...

As sure as the brain is prone to distraction, it can also return its focus to the task at hand. A new study in animals by scientists at the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory of MIT shows how ...
