Brain operates multiple asynchronous processing streams in parallel

neurosciencenews.com

The brain operates multiple asynchronous processing streams in parallel, shattering previous assumptions about its unified function. New research using simultaneous EEG-fMRI proves the brain coordinates distinct, parallel information processing streams, not a single process. This finding offers new insights into cognitive complexity and clinical diagnostics. This discovery validates standalone EEG for clinical use, especially for patients unable to undergo MRI, and provides a new framework for studying neurological and psychiatric conditions.
