Cool video, but it would be much cooler if there was some idea of the timescale (i.e. how often do these waves occur?). I doubt that it's shown real-time; perhaps 10x or 100x?
And, I've been searching for the actual study/paper, but with no success. 'Twould be good for the BU press blurb to link to it...

The take away was that our models of ANNs benefit from considering more that just neural signaling (i.e. solution contents and fluid dynamics). Is anyone aware of modern work expanding on that front?
Re falling asleep during MRI - I was a subject in a study where for about an hour you had to lie in a machine and repeatedly indicate which of two pictures depicted a larger object. They said subjects falling asleep was a big problem! I find sleeping very difficult and even I was feeling extremely drowsy after 45 mins of lying down and establishing "elephants are bigger than mice. Houses are bigger than shoes. Trees…
I get an MRI once a year and I frequently fall asleep because nothing puts me to sleep like mechanical white noise. It's kind of a problem because I try to move or jerk awake, which ruins the MRI. My MRIs take forever. I feel terrible for the attendants.

This is curious. During my research into neutral networks we depended on a neuroscience result that found waves of trophic factor (i.e. the stuff used to build up neurons [i.e. learn]) travel in cascading waves from the core of the brain to the periphery. By adding a sense of location and a learning term contingent on the factor we saw learning (xor) prohibited by Minsky's result (not really prohibited because we cha…
I find the whole xor result to be pretty irrelevant, which I think is representative of the field writ large.

I am curious about this as well, as well as the general state of biological inspiration in the field. My impression was that biological analogy had largely been pretty much completely moved away from, except as someplace to take inspiration from in terms of what optimization can achieve.
