@smfleming @criticalneuro @behrenstimb There's also evidence of slower ~160ms cycles from @YunzheNeuro (https://www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/science.abf1357) which might be an interesting candidate. Also slower theta sweeps in rodents are interesting, they're more local but maybe rats just tend to "think" more locally than humans? 🐀

I study belief in Santa (among other things). I keep getting asked if parents lying to their children about Santa is connected to adoption of conspiracy beliefs.
