MIT Picower Institute neuroscientists lay out a framework for understanding how thought arises from the coordination of neural activity driven by oscillating electric fields also known as brain “waves” or “rhythms.”
MIT professors Roger Levy, Tracy Slatyer, and Martin Wainwright won 2024 Guggenheim Fellowships in neuroscience, physics, and data science. Guggenheim Fellows are awarded monetary stipend to pursue independent work and research.

The brain processes information on many scales. Individual cells electrochemically transmit signals in circuits but at the large scale required to produce cognition, millions of cells act in concert, driven by rhythmic signals at varying frequencies.
