Scientists from the University of Sydney and Fudan University have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of neuroscience. Through their research, they have identified spiral patterns in human brain signals, which have the potential to revolutionize our understanding of brain function and cognitive processes. These remarkable patterns were observed both during periods of rest and cognitive activity, suggesting that they play a crucial role in organizing brain function. By studying these patterns, scientists hope to unravel the complex workings of our brain and potentially develop computing machines inspired by its intricate design. Furthermore, these findings offer valuable insights into…

New Study Highlights Need for Gravitational Wave Observatories in the Southern Hemisphere The field of gravitational wave astronomy is rapidly expanding, with more observatories dedicated to detecting these elusive cosmic ripples. However, a recent study published on the arXiv reveals a significant bias towards the Northern Hemisphere, resulting in missed gravitational events. The article argues that establishing observatories in the Southern Hemisphere would not only provide a more comprehensive global participation but also yield a wealth of observational data. Drawing a parallel to the early days of large optical telescopes, the study highlights the cultural bias towards the Northern Hemisphere…
