New holographic storage method uses light to pack more data in less space

Light has always carried more than brightness. In this case, it also carries direction and twist. That mix may open a new path for storing far more data in the same physical space. A research team led ...

Reassessing prediction in the brain: Pre-onset neural encoding during natural listening does not reflect pre-activation

This study presents valuable findings by reanalyzing previously published MEG and ECoG datasets to challenge the predictive nature of pre-onset neural encoding effects. The evidence supporting the ...
