unit. Professor Robert Desimone from MIT studies neural synchrony. He believes that attending to stimuli involves use of nearly all of the brain. A 2006 study by Lawrence Ward at the University of British Columbia and four other scientists found that neural synchrony plays an important role in the integration of functional modules in the brain. They even found that neural synchrony is affected by how noisy the brain is. This links back to all of act 2, the way you can’t focus when there’s too much neuronal activity, such as over-arousal from sensing a threat.
