Article Synopsis
- Predictive coding helps the brain make guesses about what we will hear or sense next, which involves different brain waves working together.
- When monkeys were put to sleep with a drug, their brains stopped using these guessing signals, which changed how they reacted to unexpected sounds.
- This study shows that being aware of things (consciousness) is linked to how well the brain predicts and processes information, and when we’re unconscious, those predictions don’t work like they should.
Background: Despite surgical and pharmacological interventions, endometriosis can recur. Reliable information regarding risk of recurrence following a first diagnosis is scant. The aim of this study was to examine clinical and survey data in the setting of disease recurrence to identify predictors of risk of endometriosis recurrence.

Asymptotic freedom turns out to be compatible with the absence of tachyons.

One hypothesis is that anesthesia disrupts dynamic stability-the ability of the brain to balance excitability with the need to be stable and controllable. To test this hypothesis, we developed a method for quantifying changes in population-level dynamic stability in complex systems: delayed linear analysis for stability estimation (DeLASE).
