- Traveling waves of neural activity are observed all over the brain. Can they be used to augment neural networks? I am thrilled to share our new work, "Traveling Waves Integrate Spatial Information Through Time" with @andykeller.bsky.social! 1/13
- The act of vision is a coordinated activity involving millions of neurons in the visual cortex. How is information shared over these large distances? Evidence suggests traveling waves could carry this information across space, allowing neurons to “know” what’s happening far away. 2/13
- Spatial integration means that a neuron at one location can access signals from distant points. This could mean linking information together across an image to classify objects or linking words together in a sentence to derive meaning. 3/13

- Reposted by Mozes JacobsIn the physical world, almost all information is transmitted through traveling waves -- why should it be any different in your neural network? Super excited to share recent work with the brilliant @mozesjacobs.bsky.social: "Traveling Waves Integrate Spatial Information Through Time" 1/14
