Mindblown: a blog about philosophy. Communication. Technology. Humans. Fashion and Society.

Why deep sleep promotes our memory Slow brain waves make the cerebral cortex particularly receptive
It has been known for almost 20 years that slow, synchronised excitation waves during deep sleep support memory formation. It was previously unknown why this is the case. A research team from Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin has now provided an explanation in the journal Nature Communications*. The slow waves make the cerebral cortex, the seat…

How is our memory wired Pattern completion process
The black box of the human brain is beginning to open. Although animal models are crucial to our understanding of the mammalian brain, the less frequently collected human data is revealing important features.

Circular economy regulation stimulates transformation
Many regulations in Germany and the European Union act as a catalyst for the transformation to circular business models. Examples include the right to repair and the End-of-Vehicle Act, which is currently being voted on.
