Article Synopsis
- The human brain shows complex activity patterns that are not fully understood in terms of their dynamics and cognitive functions.
- Researchers have identified widespread spiral-like wave patterns, called brain spirals, in brain activity during resting and cognitive tasks.
- These spirals interact to coordinate different brain regions, helping to shape flexible responses in cognitive processes based on the demands of various tasks.

Illusory faces perceived in objects (face pareidolia) are errors of face detection that share some neural mechanisms with human face processing. However, it is unknown whether expression in illusory faces engages the same mechanisms as human faces.
