Unraveling the Brain’s Electric Symphony in Multiple Sclerosis

Imagine the brain as a symphony orchestra. Each neuron plays its own instrument, creating a complex network of signals. To understand how multiple sclerosis (MS) affects this symphony, scientists have turned to a nonlinear dynamics approach. By analyzing electroencephalogram (EEG) signatures, they can uncover hidden patterns and chaotic measures within the brain’s activity. In a […]
