Only the series of dominant occasions known as the soul is a separate society, i.e., a set of personally ordered occasions which provide continuity in time for the patterns already generated in large part by nexus of living occasions within the field of activity proper to the brain.

It can be inferred with some probability that the human mind, at any given moment, is not drastically different in size and shape from the pattern of activity in the nervous system with which at that moment it interacts, and as this activity moves about somewhat it follows that the mind literally moves in brain and nerves, though in ways unimaginably various and intricate.

By recording neuronal activity in monkeys as they performed tasks that caused saccades, Dr. Christopher Pack has shown that there are waves of activity that cross specific vision processing areas of the brain in defined patterns, and that these patterns are reorganized by saccadic eye movements.

When the researchers analysed the activity in an area of the brain that is important for the production of song — an area known as nucleus RA — they found a clear correlation between its activity pattern and the occurrence of the «stack» call.

They in turn transmit messages to the brain as a pattern or code of electrical activity.

Scientists measuring brain activity have found that in many regions, such as the sensory or motor cortex, activity sometimes oscillates at different frequencies, forming wave - like patterns.

The EEG measured patterns of brain activity as drivers were forced to brake suddenly.

A computer algorithm processed the monkey's brain activity, homing in on patterns of neurons firing as it learned to do the task.

In an electroencephalogram (EEG)-- a recording of the brain's electrical activity — the synchronous rhythm of the nerve cells manifests as a periodic pattern.

«If the brain's neural - activity patterns are in overdrive, as is often the case for people with addiction or OCD, could we create a computer program that can help to retrain their brains and downshift this activity?»

New research shows that our brain displays a similar pattern of activity during dreams as it does during a mind - expanding drug trip.

A scent's location on the map also predicts the brain activity caused by getting a whiff: previous research in a variety of animals such as fruit flies, honeybees, mice, rats and tadpoles showed that neighboring odors cause similar patterns of neuron activity.

One of the most controversial types of therapy is what is known as neurofeedback, in which patients learn to control their brain activity patterns selectively, and in this way achieve an alleviation of their symptoms.

«Our results show we can detect a specific pattern of activity between neurons in the brain, recording instantaneous exchanges between them as persistent signals that can later be visualized under a microscope,» Gallio said.

But after often as little as 10 minutes, frontal brain activity lessened, and the brain signals transitioned to patterns similar to those seen during more automatic actions.

Answering this question requires classifying neuronal activity patterns recorded from the brain, based on a number of statistical, dynamical and anatomical features and correlating them with observable behaviours, such as the presence or absence of rapid eye movements.

In those scans, one spot in the brain showed the same patterns of activity as the master map in the computer model.

The results in his thesis show that improved motor timing of both female elite level soccer players and experienced male golfers leads to improved outcome accuracy, with associated changes in motor performance, as well as in the brain's activity patterns related to these performances.

As he takes more scans, he hopes to find patterns of brain activity that are unique to each group.

When the researchers looked at brain scans of subjects at rest after giving yes - no answers — neither learning nor actively recalling the memory — they found the same pattern of activity as when subjects were doing the high - reward task.

Taking inspiration from linguists, who view spoken words as syllables that can be infinitely recombined, we seek to discover the «syllables» of behavior — and the patterns of brain activity that generate them.

The brain's basic functions — such as planning, decision - making, and behavior — require multiple brain areas and many thousands or millions of neurons, generating complex patterns of neural activity.
