Sometimes work follows you home. Sometimes it follows you to the bar.
Visual concept space for a discussion about neural oscillatory activity. Club-Mate for energy and inspiration. Notes for a master’s thesis project by a student at the Berlin School of Mind and Brain.
Above, a piece of note paper acts as a visual aid for a conversation about the nature and function of neural oscillations. One theory is that slower oscillations serve to coordinate larger and more spread apart groups of neurons, while faster oscillations reflect local coordination amongst neurons for lower-level processing [1].
Perhaps this image is also a good example of the mind, extended [2]? A quick sketch on note paper allows for outsourcing of visual working memory not just for one mind, but for onlookers as well.
It’s a process.
