A discovery at the Kavli Institute at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Norway has uncovered a previously unknown function of grid cells, the specialized neurons that help ...
Grid cells, with hexagonal spatial firing patterns, are thought critical to the brain’s spatial representation. High-speed movement challenges accurate localization as self-location constantly changes ...
A research team has successfully induced self-location illusions with multi-sensory virtual reality (VR) in an MRI scanner and observed corresponding changes in the human brain's grid cell activity.
