Understanding the Brain's Temporal Activity
1:02:27 - 1:12:56 (10:28)
Neurons that are closer to each other are more likely to have faster time scale activities, spreading information throughout the brain's different modules. The brain's temporal activity is consistent with a power law, showing that neuron oscillation and spike production have no defined scale of activity.

The connections made by neurons within a specific region of the cortex are primarily with their local neighborhood, and as the size of the region increases, the probability of connection drops off exponentially.

The probability of finding neurons oscillating or producing spikes at a certain frequency is a power law, which means there's no defined scale of the temporal activity in the brain, and if the entirety of life on earth is seen as an organism with thoughts that are increasingly sophisticated, then that too occurs on a spatial and temporal scale.
