Neuroscience: States of mind
Dario L. Ringach1
Abstract
In the brains of anaesthetized animals, neurons create spontaneous patterns of activity that resemble representations of visual stimuli. This finding may change our notions about visual perception.
Every waking moment, as we experience the world through our eyes, groups of neurons in our brain fire electrical impulses to enable us to perceive our surroundings. But what happens in our brains when our eyes are closed?
