Description

What exactly are brain oscillations, and why do we need them? In this episode, co-host Chiara Zanonato sits down with neuroscientist Pascal Fries to explore how these rhythmic patterns emerge in the brain and what role they play in attention. Together, they unpack the "communication through coherence" theory, a fascinating idea about how brain regions sync up to focus our thoughts. Get ready to tune into the brain’s own internal frequencies.
