Fractal Dynamics of the Brain
I love that there's a fractal dynamics of the brain. I think that's probably very important to the way the brain processes information. The probability of finding neurons oscillating or producing spikes at a certain frequency is again a power law, which means there's no defined scale of the temporal activity in the brain. At what speed do your thoughts occur? Well, there's a fastest speed they can occur and that is limited by communication and other things. But there's not a characteristic scale. We have thoughts on all temporal scales from a few tens of milliseconds, compared with tens of picoseconds that I talked about in Superconductors,. All the way up to the lifetime of the
