Research Hit: Swirling Spirals Move Across Your Brain

New discovery could be a missing link in cognitive processing

Do I want swirling spirals on my brain?

I am sure you do - it looks like they could be very important. This could be groundbreaking, actually!

Explain, please!

Let’s look at the discovery itself first. This is from researchers at Fudan University in China and the University of Sydney. They analysed data from over 100 brain scans and used modelling used in complex wave patterns such as turbulence. And this has given rise to this surprise discovery.

So they found spirals not waves?
