MIT News  March 30, 2023 Working memory allows us to remember and selectively control a limited set of items. Neural evidence suggests that working memory is achieved by interactions between bursts of beta and gamma oscillations. However, it is not clear how oscillations, reflecting coherent activity of millions of neurons, can selectively control individual working memory items. An international team of researchers (Sweden, USA – MIT, Cornell University, Princeton University, Germany) has proposed the novel concept of spatial computing where beta and gamma interactions causing item-specific activity flow spatially across the network during a task. This way, control-related information such […]
