@pessoabrain.bsky.social drops knowledge on us. Neuron spiking is highly coordinated. Waves of electric field influences are a great way to do that.

I've been asked (re the book), "Are there bits of other fields that neuroscientists have overlooked?" Yes! Taken's theorem and work by George Sugihara.

TL;DR: You can predict the future of a complex system even if you don't know all the causal variables.
