Brain 'entanglement' could explain memories
- yannis 17y agoI am really sorry to see New Scientist behind a paywall. There is little point in posting articles that are behind paywalls on a site like HN.

- russell 17y agoTry reading more articles. Eventually you will get the request for registration.
- tpyo 17y agoCouldn't you just press the Close button?
- yannis 17y agoNS will only let you read 3 articles - then it will ask you to register and you will be able to read another 7 in one month and then you need to PAY, since I normally buy the dead tree version this is just harassment!
- des 17y agoIt's a pretty weak paywall: Disable javascript, the article displays fine. (Aside: Won't that approach - 'hiding' content from visitors - get them penalized by Google?)
- adrianwaj 17y ago"they analysed neuronal activity using arrays of electrodes implanted in the brains of two awake macaque monkeys" Fantastic for the monkeys. What happened with them afterward?
- michael_nielsen 17y agoJust to warn potential readers: this article has nothing to do with quantum entanglement. It's linkbait for the title, something that's not surprising coming from New Scientist. Entanglement is used briefly as an analogy in the article, and not a very good one at that --- the interesting thing about quantum entanglement is that it allows stronger-than-classical correlations (Bell inequalities), but there is nothing in this article to suggest anything like that is going on in the brain. The original research, which is about a kind of phase locking going on between different parts of the brain, does sound interesting.
