Spatiotemporal computing

Caption

A figure from the paper depicts how a traveling beta frequency wave (gray-blue) can implement "spatiotemporal computing." On the left, outside the wave area, a neural ensemble can form to encode sensory information about an object. As the wave rotates, a neural ensemble in a newly freed-up area can assemble to store the object in working memory.
