It is unclear whether quantum phenomena can be observed in brain recordings because of thermal noise causing decoherence, that is, quantum superpositions and entanglement quickly collapsing into classical, i.e. non-quantum states. In our new paper we demonstrate that neuronal noise of the Brownian m...

New paper in Nature Communications:  In collaboration with MIT colleagues, we showed that bodily and environmental factors act as partial drivers of healthy or abnormal brain dynamics.  We used DCM to dissociate input vs network effects and identify brain connectivity changes as a result o...

In a new paper in Cerebral Cortex, we show that to produce a memory neurons need to coordinate, similarly to musicians in an orchestra who want to play a song. For neurons, coordination is achieved via the electric field they collectively produce. Read also the MIT news piece here.

Brain waves carry information. Our new “Cytoelectric Coupling” hypothesis posits that fluctuating electric fields optimize brain network efficiency and stability by shaping the brain’s molecular infrastructure. Read the news piece from MIT on our paper  here.

In a paper accepted in Progress in Neurobiology, we suggest that the electric fields generated by neurons are causal down to the level of the cytoskeleton. Brain waves and emerging electric fields contain information the brain is processing. This information propagates to the neuron level, affecting...
