Research: Brain ripples may help bind information across human cortex
Updated : 3 years, 8 months ago IST
Washington [US], July 10 (ANI): Researchers provide some of the first empirical evidence that brain ripples exist. These electrical waves have long been hypothesized as a way for the brain to integrate and encode memories.
